[icecast] using the latest icecast and ices to stream both ogg and mp3
I've gotten a request from another broadcasting partner to set up yet another streaming audio server. They would like to stream in both ogg and mp3 formats from off a single icecast machine. I have been searching through the archives and I have seen this mentioned as being possible, but no real configurations. I would of course place LAME on the box and use that for streaming just as I would for icecast1. Any suggestions? Or do I have to install both icecast1 and icecast2 on the same server and have them both running, but broadcasting on different ports? Any suggestions and config files would be appreciated.

So basically, I download and install ices 0.3, fire it up as well and then using the currently running icecast server, just set a new mountpoint. Instead of /ksl.ogg I would make a /ksl.mp3 mountpoint. This would be configured in the configuration file included with ices 0.3? I am only doing live streaming, feeding a raw audio feed into the box, and then encoding it on the fly. Thanks much.

What are the current good options for encoding a live stream in icecast format? I know about ices 0.3 for Unices, and WinAmp/Oddcast for Windows. Is there a current good option for Macintosh? How about using any of the encoders with QuickTime, Real, or Windows Media? With WinAmp/Oddcast, if I use the latest versions, I can't currently set it up to reboot to automatically start streaming. It used to work, but I think that fell out of the code. Any ETA on it coming back? -- Bryan Walls My words are not NASA policy.
