[Freeswitch-users] how can i do stream piping in freeswitch

[Nathan Neulinger]

Only other approach I can think of would be to try and do some sort of reverse reflector.

i.e. the issue is that you're having 100 connections to the external stream for 100 listeners

If you could get the 100 connections to a LOCAL server, to where you'd still have the duplication locally on your 
internal network, but not 100 separate connections to the remote stream provider - that might address it. At that point, 
you could have each caller do the individual playback - getting the local duplication.

I don't know that anything exists to do that function though.
