Icecast is just the server which distributes one or more audio streams 
that are sent to it by a "source client".

For live ogg there is IceS v2.0 : http://icecast.org/ices.php
For live mp3 there are a choice of two:
LiveIce : http://liveice.kucs.net/
DarkIce : http://darkice.sourceforge.net/

There is some fine documentation on using IceCast here:

ices2 (which I assume you're using) does not support mp3 streaming. If you 
want to do mp3 streaming, you must a) use a different client (ices 0.3 works, 
but does not have live input capabilities), and b) pay for a patent license.

Hi:

Ices (version 2) does not do MP3 streaming, only ogg.  If you want to use
ices to generate your stream, you could use Oddsock's stream transcoder
(www.oddsock.org) to transcode your stream into MP3.

Hello,
    I'm trying to setup icecast2 and darkice on a FreeBSD test system prior
to putting it in to production use. I've downloaded and installed the ports
for both without a problem, created directories logs and conf within the
icecast root which is /usr/local/share/icecast, and created an icecast user.
Then i edited /usr/local/share/icecast/conf/icecast.xml, the relevant
entries are:

    <paths>
  <!-- basedir is only used if chroot is enabled -->
        <basedir>/usr/local/share/icecast</basedir>

        <!-- Note that if <chroot> is turned on below, these paths must
both
             be relative to the new root, not the original root -->
        <logdir>/usr/local/share/icecast/logs</logdir>
    </paths>

    <logging>
        <accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
        <errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
       <loglevel>4</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1
Error -->
    </logging>

    <security>
        <chroot>1</chroot>
        <changeowner>
            <user>icecast</user>
            <group>icecast</group>
        </changeowner>
    </security>
</icecast>

When i try to start icecast i get a message, changed root successfully to
/usr/local/share/icecast, changed uid to 81, changed groupid to 81. And
then:
"Fatal can not open access.log"
"Fatal could not open error.log"
"Fatal: could not start logging"
My start command is icecast -c /usr/local/share/conf/icecast.xml. Firstly, i
verified that the logs directory did exist then i changed it's owner and
group to icecast, and tried another restart. I then tried again with the
same results. I then went in to logs and touch both access.log and error.log
and changed there owner and group to icecast. Another restart and i got the
same error message. Any suggestions welcome.
Some urgency!
Thanks.
Dave.
