Icecast - Aug 2004 - problems setting the sample rate with icecast2 and darkice

At present my stream is at 11.025 kHz and I want it to be at 44.1 kHz. 

Input is coming from line-in on my sound blaster card under linux (RH 9) using 
the sb driver. 

I presume that it is icecast that sets the sample rate on the dsp in the card, 
though when I change the settings in icecast.xml and darkice.cfg as show below 
the stream becomes choppy; or rather the sampling doesn't seem to change in 
icecast but only in darkice. i.e. icecast still feeds a 11kHz stream to darkice 
that is trying to stream at 44kHz.

Any ideas on this?

exerpts from my config are below.

Thanks!

Ian

darkice.cfg:
# this section describes the audio input that will be streamed
[input]
device          = /dev/dsp  # OSS DSP soundcard device for the audio input
sampleRate      = 44100     # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100
bitsPerSample   = 16        # bits per sample. try 16
channel         = 2         # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo

icecast.xml:
   <encode>
        <samplerate>44100</samplerate>
        <channels>2</channels>
        <quality>10</quality>
        <!-- <minimum-bitrate>32000</minimum-bitrate>
         <maximum-bitrate>128000</maximum-bitrate>
        -->
    </encode>

...

     <module>oss</module>

        <param name="device">/dev/dsp</param>
        <param name="rate">44100</param>
        <param name="channels">2</param>

no, it is darkice. icecast doesn't touch the sound card at all.

hm, I'm not familiar with these settings in icecast. darkice samples and 
encodes at 44.1kHz when you tell it to. maybe you should ask this 
question on the icecast mailing list....

Hi:

I'm a bit confused.  The excerpt  you showed second was from an ices config
file, not an icecast one.  As has already been stated, icecast is just a
server and doesn't touch the soundcard.  Perhaps if you told us what you
are trying to do then we could help more.

BTW: The bit we really need to see from your darkice config is the icecast2
section where the encoding is done.  This might shed some more light on
your problem.

Geoff.
