I've managed to get some more debug info in the logs. I cleared the log,
changed the log debug level to 4 and started icecast, shout and a client.
Here are some relevant lines from the log :
CLIENT CONNECTION :
[01/Mar/2001:11:36:58] [6:Connection Handler] Accepted client 2 from ...
This client connection ends up as source thread 5.
The first error is mentioned after about 20 minutes.
[01/Mar/2001:11:57:46] [5:Source Thread] DEBUG: sock_write_bytes_or_kick:

[01/Mar/2001:11:57:46] [5:Source Thread] DEBUG: sock_write_bytes_or_kick:

[01/Mar/2001:11:57:46] [5:Source Thread] DEBUG: sock_write_bytes_or_kick:

Now here's an interesting thing - there's some kind of 6 bit overflow in
the chunks behind source... the line "40 errors -41 chunks behind
source"
turns to "41 errors 22 behind source". This happens after about ten
seconds after the first mention of an error.

The number of errors keeps increasing to 63 and the chunks decreasing to 0 :
(this is after 7 more seconds)
[01/Mar/2001:11:58:04] [5:Source Thread] DEBUG: client 2 tried 2 times,

After which the client gets kicked :

And then a whole lot of cid's (are these chunk id's ???) are cleared.

[4096] bytes

[01/Mar/2001:11:58:04] [5:Source Thread] -------add_chunk: Chunk 27 was
[3728] bytes
and so on for each chunk.
So, the errors all seem to pile up over about 30 seconds while not having
had any errors before that. Is there someone who knows a bit more about
the icecast source who could help me find out what these errors might mean
and how I can go about solving them ?
I'm keeping the debug logs if anyone is interested to take a look at
them...
thanks,
thomas
