All India Radio broadcasts through WebRadio, but I've only been able to find the stream for their Indian Classical music station – AIR Ragam. They play incredible pieces, and this station has been responsible for the proliferation of this form of music since it was established. It is a cultural marvel.

That URL is for a playlist, that contains two further playlists, hlspbaudioragam64kbps.m3u8 and hlspbaudioragam32kbps.m3u8. Taking one of those: https://airhlspush.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com...4kbps.m3u8, we see a list of .aac files, which I assume are the streams. Unfortunately, each of those seems to return a 404 (for e.g. https://airhlspush.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com...961105.aac ).
Testing in moOde though, I find that while the "base" playlist doesn't work, the "64 bit" version does, Listening now. It's rather good. Any station artwork available?
There seems to be disagreement among the All India Radio websites whether the name is AIR Ragam or AIR Raagam. I didn't see many images that were usable (because of composition, aspect ratio, etc), but here's two that I scraped

Thanks for sorting out this problem out, I kept getting an "incorrect sample rate" error, and choosing the individual stream solved the problem!
And yes, it's hard to find logos for the station itself, because they all fly under the Prasar Bharti/All India Radio banner.

Hi all,
following a thread about the A6 streamer I stumbled upon a guy who had the internet radio app discover a SomaFM station with surround audio at 48kHz...
So I searched it, and it is one of the "experimenta high resolution streams" (other being untouched FLACs etc.)
More can be found on somafm.com, chosing "news" from the top banner, then scrolling down to AAC 320 surround heading.
I tested in moOde, and it indeed decodes in 6ch (then is downmixed to stereo on my machine, of course)
Unfortunately I couldn't find a specific icon (it should be "Groove Salad Surround" as was shown on the guy's screen, as there are "Groove Salad" and "Groove Salad Classic")
One question:
Just curious... can moOde output to HDMI in multichannel, like this could be the case?
It should work over HDMI to something like an AVR. I could prolly run a test in my media room. ALSA output prolly needs to be to Default though.
Yes, I was indeed thinking of an AVR.
Ah, bear in mind that people having tried the station say that, although is 6 channels (aka 5.1 - VLC also reports 3front + 2rear + LFE) the center channel produces no sound.
These are test channels (meaning, if they work then some effort could be made on their side to actually have real MCH stations), so they may also be up-mixes of some sort; nevertheless it would be nice to see what moOde can produce with them.
