[Sudo-radio] Welcome to Sudo Radio!

Hi All,

As Mischa pointed to. The current status of the radio is that the backend
isn't defined and ready to go. I agree that we need to consolidate streams.
I recently tested the DJ2 mount point to sudoradio.com from the radio room
and it worked, so maybe we should just go with the solution that Mischa
has. There was also talk of doing a mix of streams that Naomi was going to
set up. Is she on this list?

Again we need to get something set up that will allow for shows to start
being streamed out from the radio room... or at least edited in the radio
room and streamed out in a que based on a schedule. Once we have that set
up we can move on to the fun part which is actually making shows.
