Icecast - Aug 2004 - Using ices or shout with continuously growing files?

Hi people,

I'm using an external mp3pro encoder that creates a contuously growing file
from a live input. However, ices and shout read the file size, and stop when
that value is reached, then they start playing the file over again. What I
want is that it keeps playing the file, as it should be able to keep playing
until eternity :) I've copied the output of shout beneath. Is there anything
I can try?

Hi:

Just a thought at 4:15 Am.  Would a FIFO be appropriate in this case?  I
can't think why it wouldn't be.

Geoff.
