Icecast - Aug 2004 - Can't get ices to work on secondary audio card

Hi,

I've been having LOTS of problems lately getting ices to work the way I want
on
my computer and I've just about gotten to the last problem.

When broadcasting live media off of any sound card other than the primary
(Default, aka: /dev/dsp) sound device I only end up broadcasting silence. 
Furthermore, the connection time is much longer than usual and not because of
buffering.  I can't fathom what's the problem.  I've checked hte
logs and they
say nothing is wrong.  I can hear the input sound coming off of my microphone
without sound but the client hears nothing.

Please, I need help and I don't know where else to turn.  If nobody has any
ideas can someone direct me to a list or forum that might have an idea?

o there's a connection to icecast being maintained and icecast shows a
stream with so many listeners (status.xsl) ?

if that is correct then email the ices log file to me.

That's right.  Icecast recognizes the stream and the status.xsl page updates
properly to reflect the attempts to connect I make.

IT doesn't seem like much to me but maybe you'll notice something I
dont.
Thanks again!
