After a bit of debate, it has been decided that all stream types should be allowed to list on our stream directory. We have corrected the load issue and have to come to agreement that it is in the best interest of everyone to support all the broadcasters in the community, regardless of their choices of streaming media type. We encourage all that are currently broadcasting in patent and license encumbered media formats to take this opportunity to create streams using patent-free xiph.org alternatives such as ogg vorbis and ogg theora. Show your listeners that you are part of a bigger picture of choice and freedom. oddsock & the icecast team...
Dear list I'm wondering what techniques are around to determine (on a client machine) the latency of an mp3 stream? I'm hoping to retrieve this sort of data in a Flash player ? but any tips on this would be helpful. I'm not looking for super-accurate data ? a tolerance of 2 seconds would be ok ? so the simpler the technique the better. The project is to ?synchronise? audio with text delivered by a TCP connection (specifically, from a ?Flosc? server). At present I'm using the audio program Pd with a "shoutcast~" external (uses Lame encoding) which streams to an local Icecast server - and then relayed on to listeners by a shoutcast service. The machine running Pd and Icecast is also running the Flosc server. cheers, Iain _________ Iain Mott www.reverberant.com
