Hi all ! Sorry to raise a provocative question like this at first glance, but that is the real topic in this mail. Some months ago, I proposed a patch to libshout adding custom mime support when adding new mountpoints [1]. After some discussions and some corrections, the patch was accepted. Now, almost 6 month after, the patch has not yet been added to the SVN trunk for libshout [2], as it seems. As you can imagine, this is somehow frustrating for us, since we rely on this patch for various features in our program. I do not want to put a blame on anyone for this, since I know that in volontary projects, we all have other commitements. However, as a project, such a situation does not seem a good thing for me. In particular, it blocks any further contribution and possible contributor. Now, I come to this message since now we are experiencing with ogg/dirac video encoding. As such, icecast does not support those streams. However, I wanted to try to patch it to support them. As you can imagine, I am now stuck since I do not really want to start such a work if I have no garantee that my contributions will be considered... Please, don't take this as an agressive question. I have always appreciated icecast.org and the various great work that you did in multimedia streaming for the free software world. However, I have come to the issue that if it takes more than 6 months to accept a simple patch like the one for libshout, there must be some issues in the activity level of this project.
