Icecast dev - Jun 2012 - Opus and WebM support have landed

Hi,

quick info. Yesterday Rillian landed Oneman's patches adding ogg/opus 
and WebM support on Icecast trunk.
Big thanks for all the work that has gone into this!

Please use trunk for your testing and development in this area from now. 
If you run into problems please send
mails/patches/bitch'n'moan-on-IRC/...
It's important to find any problems by testing it in every possible 
aspect as early as possible and make the code even better!

In other news, I decided to drop the 'debian' directory from svn trunk. 
(Apologies to Rillian for missing the automake references!)
The reasoning behind this is that Debian explicitly are throwing this 
out and replacing it with their own maintained 'debian' directory. Also 
the debian directory in trunk was largely untouched since before Icecast 
2.0...
I'm considering to do the same with the RPM spec, but have less 
visibility on its usage by distributions.
If someone has other views on this, please let me know!

Cheers

Thomas

Cool. What ogg/opus player do you recommend?

Hi,

What's client support like for these?  HOw could I set up say an Opus 
stream and play with it?

Thanks for posting about it, Thomas. Seems to work! The next major new 
feature I'd like to get in the tree is PUT support.

Opus is a very new format, so playback is just beginning to be supported.

Very recent versions of gstreamer support it, so programs like Totem on 
Linux will work if your install is new enough.

Probably the easiest cross-platform option is the Nightly and Aurora 
builds of Firefox. You have to enable a preference to be able to play 
back opus streams; just follow the instructions at
https://people.xiph.org/~giles/2012/opus/

There are also command line tools in the opus-tools package. You can get 
Windows binaries and source packages at http://opus-codec.org/downloads/

The easiest approach is probably to use the opus-tools utilities along 
with Jan Gerber's oggfwd utility. You can use gstreamer, if it's new 
enough to support opus, and is built against libshout 2.3.1 or later. Or 
you can use oneman's krad_radio as a streaming client, which will take 
live audio feeds from jack. https://github.com/krad-radio/krad_radio

Let us know if you get anything working!

Do these directories exist in your checkout? They should be populated 
from the svn:externals property, and you won't get them if you did a 
checkout with --ignore-externals or used wget, etc.
