Icecast - Mar 2005 - New User Installation: Questions about live streaming

I am still working to insert mic in a stream. I found a walkthru 
here:http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread6875.html and I have been 
trying to get ices to accept the sample script. I am seeing the complaint: 

XML Parser: Document of invalid type, no ices namespace found
Logfile opened
Could not find a valid playlist file.
Ices Exiting...
 
As far as I can tell, the config file's syntax is correct. What else should
I
look for?

If you have an ices2 config file, you'll need to use it with ices2,
not with ices 0.x.

As for your original questions, we can't really help you with such
general questions as "I want a microphone in my stream". You need to
be much, much more specific about what you're trying to do. I suspect
the problem is that you haven't set your mixer settings correctly, but
that's just a guess.

Certainly in my browser, the formatting gets fairly mangled, although it is 
valid.  Sounds like you've got the <ices> bit at the beginning of the
file
missing, for example.

Since the ices-live.xml comes with ices anyway, I'd recommend just editing 
that.  "make install" has probably put it in $prefix/share/ices or 
something, but it's also in the conf dir of the source tree if you can't
find it.

My short term goal, is to stream mp3 and add input from the mic (my voice) 
into the stream. Long term goal, internet radio with music, talk, and request 
on demand.

I downloaded, compiled, and configured ices-0.4.tar using ices.conf.dist (mp3 
files are streaming and clients [winamp, win media] connect OK). In 
the /download/ices-0.4/conf directory there are four files: ices.conf.dist, 
ices.conf.dist.in, ices.pm.dist, and ices.py.dist. 

I have used aumix to ensure that the mic is set to "R" and verified
the
settings for Line-in, PCM, and I-Gain. Then, I modified the ices.conf.dist 
file to use the example configuration. 

When using "<ices:Configuration 
xmlns:ices="http://www.icecast.org/projects/ices">", ices
complain:
Unknown Node: background
Unknown Node: logpath
Unknown Node: logfile
Unknown Node: logsize
Unknown Node: loglevel
Unknown Node: consolelog
Unknown Node: stream
 
When using "<ices>, ices complaint:
XML Parser: Document of invalid type, no ices namespace found
Logfile opened
Could not find a valid playlist file.
Ices Exiting...

The only changes are on lines 2 and last line in the config file. Is 
ices-0.4.tar.gz the latest?
