I've noticed that there are forks of icecast with interesting new features (specifically the one on savannah.gnu.org with the ability to stream speex). Are there plans to merge any of these forks with the icecast.org icecast? --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Well, if I finish my flac support you can have it. I guess it's still not friendly to encorporate other people's changes against their will, even if the GPL means they have given implicit permission. Right now, with a modified libshout2, ogg123 (few players work with http://localhost/music.flac, and most assume all http .ogg is vorbis), hacked icecast, icecast and shout using guesswork instead of libflac for samplerate and header work, icecast can stream flac. But ogg123 doesn't support concatenated flac or ogg/flac files yet so you can only listen to one song at a time. When it works, a good solution for home lan-jukebox applications. - Daniel Holth -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I haven't heard of anyone seriously asking for speex support - it'd be very easy to add that to icecast properly. I think that's basically because it doesn't make much sense - icecast uses TCP, and speex is carefully designed to not require reliable transports and to be usable in lossy environments. However, those people (the "interopcast" group) have made it very clear that they're not interested in contributing any of their changes to icecast - I've tried to get them to do so in the past. <p>Mike --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
