Using Ices2, is it possible to take 2 mono sources that are presented to the soundcard as the left and right channel, and make each of them a seperate mount point? My sources are all low bandwidth mono, and I would love to have a second stream without having to add a second soundcard or a second machine. I looked through the documentation, but I don't recall seeing this specific ability. Am I asking for the impossible? (or too much work to be worthwhile). -Steve -- Progress (n.): The process through which the Internet has evolved from smart people in front of dumb terminals to dumb people in front of smart terminals. -- --- >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-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Hi: Well, your main problem is that only 1 process will be able to read from the soundcard. I can think of a bit of hackery that might work though. If you're running ALSA, I believe there's a switch for arecord that will cause the left channel to go to 1 file and the right to go to another. If you got it to write these to FIFOs then maybe ices could use its wav input? hmmm, the header would be a problem. Don't think ices will do headerless PCM from a file. hmmm. OK, the short answer is, not easily.

I suppose this approach might work, though it's far from a neat approach.
