I used to use rotter on three boxes to record 3 radio stations. We added a
fourth station but did not have another box so we needed to log two stations
on one box.
IIRC, at the time at least, rotter could not run two instances on one machine
so I switched to darkice in combination with something I found and modified
called radioplay.

So, I encode two streams from two soundcards on one machine and send them to
an icecast machine on the lan. Then an icecast server in another country
pulls those streams and users listen from there. I also encode and log and
stream three other stations on three other machines.
all the best,
drew
