Need general hardware guidelines for customers to hear permission-based audio stream

We're running a permission-based audio stream to be amplified through in-store sound systems, but are unsure about basic hardware requirements. What basic features must all hardware have to log into our server via username/password and receive audio signal?

    That depends. Is the application connecting to FMS going to be a .swf, or will you use another subscribing client application?

    .SWF

    So, as I understand it, each location will make a single connection to FMS and subscribe to a single audio stream.

    Unless there's something I'm missing, the requirements are very little. I routinely use an old, slow (700mHz processor, 512MB ram) laptop as a subscribing client on FMS applications. For bandwidth, you just need to be sure you have enough to receive the stream (which would be determined by the sampling rate at the .swf doing the encoding).
