hAudio-RSS is a way of embeding an RSS2 Podcast in XHTML or more accurately a way of extracting a podcast from hAudio and XHTML using XSLT. Hypertext Podcasting if you like.
Its done by Embeding the hAudio Microformat in Semantic HTML and transforming it using XSLT.
The resulting transformation can then be played in Amarok or iTunes just like a podcast and (because the results are RSS2) you can read as an Audio blog feed in your favorite news Aggregator.
Example:
- Source File: http://weborganics.co.uk/haudio-rss/
Because I am more a man of Science and not talk I have left some notes in the source file to give hints on how it is done.
After feedback and positive testing I will shortly be releasing all the source files and a transformation service that you can just download and drop in the back end of any site using PHP 5+ that will give publishers the ability to perform their own server side transformations (which will be great to add into templates just 6.3kb) and not have to use services like h2A and x2v much like all the other services in the WebOrganics Toolbox
For anyone who may be intrested there is a very beta Just an Idea kind of thing RDF site summary version of hAudio-RSS
