Details

server.js will serve a fake big wav file. Chromecast will stream it.

launcher.py will check if audio cd is here. If audio cd is ready, it launches the play.sh script, and look for wav file. If wav file found, it launches it on chromecast

play.sh will launch the nodejs server, and abcde to rip the disc, and writes pid files

stop.sh will kill abcde and server.js
