Icecast - Aug 2004 - How calculate bandwith - How listeners

Hi!
I am newbie using broadcast for internet. I have two lines ADSL 768Kbps each 
one. Each line has connected a server doing stremaing with icecast.
Somebody tell me that my bandwith is so low for much listeners. He told me 
that max people listen my radio station is 32 :(

I wanna know how if it is true.
I have a project to build my own radio station using my lines but this way 
it is imposible.
Somebody can give me hope about this.

I think ADSL 768kbps means that you have 768kbps download and less than this
upload? What is your upload-bandwith?

Take that bandwith and divide it by the kbps of your streams. For good radio
using mp3 it should be 96-128 kbps, for ogg it should be around 64 kbps.

Example:
upstream is 768 kbps, this means you can provide a maximum of 6 streams
128kbps each or 12 streams 64 kbps.
