[Vorbis] On the fly transcoding from FLAC to a Vorbis stream
I'd like to store all of my music in FLAC form; however, I would also like to stream the library as Vorbis. Is there a tool to do on the fly stream encoding to Vorbis from FLAC? Basically, I'm looking for something that is almost like a DJ application that lets you pull in the FLAC files, do whatever DSP algorithms you need, and then code them into Vorbis and shove them out a stream. Does this exist? Or, is there a chain of tools to do this? Thanks, -a

You can then connect to the icecast server as normal. http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/oggfwd/ You could also use any of the media players with an icecast source plugin to do this. Play your flacs on the players, and the source plugin will encode to vorbis and push to the server just like oggfwd. Hope that helps, -r
