[Icecast] best practice for high-latency connections
What can be tweaked in the Icecast server to help users maintain a connection when on a high-latency connection? Would a queue-size (now 524288) adjustment help? burst-size is the default 64kb. Most of my listeners use iOS (phone or tablet); I don't know how many are on a cell connection. Sometimes I'll see a particular listener seem to have trouble because they'll try to force the stream to restart several times in a row (I have a button for that...) or they'll jump between mounts. I'm guess the issue is high-latency so the stream is dropping or momentarily cutting out, or they just have a bad net connection. Using my desktop as a client, disabling bursting seems to have no effect. Maybe because it has a high bandwidth connection?
