"Also, Does CampCaster handle any billing of
advertising clients that
would like to advertise on our radio station?  A billing
module?"

This is definitely something to be added. It would Make
campster ready
to hit the market beside closed-source and commercial
software...

I would be willing to work on a such project but I'm still
trying to
understand how the code works. Adding this feature implies
to modify
the database for sure...

I'm still thinking about the fact that adding a mecanism
allowing you
to "plug" your module into campster - just as you
do with PureData" -
would be nice.

That is not easy.
