RDCartSlots is a Rivendell module designed for use in fast-paced
live or &quot;live-assist&quot; environments, with facilities for
quickly locating carts and getting them on the air.

RDCartSlots can be configured to display one or more
<emphasis>slots</emphasis>,
each of which can be thought of as an independent audio player. In
its default <computeroutput>Cart Deck</computeroutput> mode, a slot
behaves much like a traditional analog &quot;cart deck&quot;; with the
ability for the user to load and play carts from the Rivendell library.
<computeroutput>Breakaway</computeroutput> mode allows the slot
to be used for automated play-out and replacement of upstream content
by means of the &quot;Execute Breakaway&quot; [<userinput>DX</userinput>]
RML.
