Webradio

A playlist of some radio stations. And an environment for Raspberry Pi to make the board a webradio.

VLC daemon code is shamelessly stolen from Pimoroni's Phat-beat project (https://github.com/pimoroni/phat-beat/).

Update: do not use VLC in embedded environments. It responds badly to bad network conditions, especially when you are streaming and the connection between you and the streaming server is disrupted.

Developers say it is a feature and not a bug, despite users are requesting a change in behaviour. See (https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/4774) and (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/790216)
