Hi, In the Icecast configuration file, at the begining, there is a queuesize parameter. Is it an amount of bits? What bits?

What bits?The queue-size is specified in bytes, using bits as the measure is too precise. It represents the trigger level at which the queue of stream data will be pruned, so can be seen as the maximum amount of stream data that icecast will store for a particular stream. Normally the queue of stream data is not so full, but if it does get full and the queue is to be pruned back then it will be because there is a listening client that is too slow for the stream bitrate and that listener will be dropped. There is no one rule for the best size to use, a larger number just means a little more RAM can be taken up, obviously video streams generally have a higher bitrate so a larger queue size may be better in those cases. karl.
