[icecast] (was, streaming both ogg and mp3) now, sending out 3 streams

Okay, I get the picture. Darkice is the way to go. I downloaded it and
installed it and will be testing it using the latest icecast 2.0 beta.
Just give me a few days to get it running and become used to it.

<new question>

Now, for another question. It's just a config issue really.
I successfully have two streams running, one at high bandwidth or 96
kbps and the other low bandwidth at 32 kbps. It works great and  am
relaying it successfully to another server.
Now, I'd like to set up a third stream. This one at very low bandwidth.
Here is how my config "ices.stream.dual.xml" currently looks:

        <input>
            <module>oss</module>
            <param name="rate">41000</param>
            <param name="channels">2</param> <!--
number of channels -->
            <param name="device">/dev/dsp</param> <!--
audio device -->
            <param name="metadata">0</param>
            <param name="metadatafilename">live</param>
        </input>

        <instance>
            <hostname>xx.xxx.x.xxx</hostname>
            <port>8000</port>
            <password>secretpasswd</password>
            <mount>/highband.ogg</mount>
            <yp>0</yp>
            <reconnectdelay>2</reconnectdelay>
            <reconnectattempts>5</reconnectattempts>
            <maxqueuelength>80</maxqueuelength>

            <encode>
                <quality>2</quality>
                <nominal-bitrate>96000</nominal-bitrate>
                <samplerate>41000</samplerate>
                <channels>2</channels>
            </encode>
        </instance>

        <instance>
            <hostname>xx.xxx.x.xxx</hostname>
            <port>8000</port>
            <password>secretpasswd</password>
            <mount>/lowband.ogg</mount>
            <yp>0</yp>
            <reconnectdelay>2</reconnectdelay>
            <reconnectattempts>5</reconnectattempts>
            <maxqueuelength>80</maxqueuelength>

            <downmix>1</downmix>

            <resample>
                <in-rate>41000</in-rate>
                <out-rate>22050</out-rate>
            </resample>

            <encode>
                <nominal-bitrate>32000</nominal-bitrate>
                <samplerate>22050</samplerate>
                <channels>1</channels>
                <quality>2</quality>
            </encode>
        </instance>

Now I tried to add a third stream by adding the following <instance> to
the above config:

       <instance>
            <hostname>xx.xxx.x.xxx</hostname>
            <port>8000</port>
            <password>secretpasswd</password>
            <mount>/smallband.ogg</mount>
            <yp>0</yp>
            <reconnectdelay>2</reconnectdelay>
            <reconnectattempts>5</reconnectattempts>
            <maxqueuelength>80</maxqueuelength>

            <downmix>1</downmix>

            <resample>
                <in-rate>22050</in-rate>
                <out-rate>11000</out-rate>
            </resample>

            <encode>
                <nominal-bitrate>16000</nominal-bitrate>
                <samplerate>11000</samplerate>
                <channels>1</channels>
                <quality>-1</quality>
            </encode>
        </instance>

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

<p>yeah, your resample in-rate is supposed to be 44100 not 22050

[icecast] using the latest icecast and ices to stream both ogg and mp3

darkice is an execellent bit of software, very well written. and the
author of the darkice software, akos, is very active on the darkice ML.

http://yp.tilos.hu:9000/tilos_high.ogg <= for a darkice stream.
