Icecast - Jun 2004 - problem with metadatafilename parameter

Hi,

I'm using Icecast 2.0.1 and Ices 2.0.0 with multiple
"<stream>"
constructs to stream from multiple inputs.  This works fine, but the
second "metadatafilename" parameter overwrites the first, and that
metadata information is sent to both streams.  Is there a way around
this?

In this case, the stream on "stream1.ogg" and "stream2.ogg"
both
receive metadata information from the file "metadata2":

<instance>
<mount>/stream1.ogg</mount>
...
<input>
<module>stdinpcm</module>
<param name="rate">8000</param>
<param name="channels">1</param>
<param name="metadata">1</param>
<param name="metadatafilename">metadata1</param>
</input>


<instance>
<mount>/stream2.ogg</mount>
...
<input>
<module>alsa</module>
<param name="rate">48000</param>
<param name="channels">2</param>
<param name="device">hw:0,0</param>
<param name="periods">2</param>
<param name="buffer-time">500</param>
<param name="metadata">1</param>
<param name="metadatafilename">metadata2</param>
</input>

Hi:

I don't want to speak for the developers, but I suspect that Ices wasn't
designed to have two input sections.  I'm surprised that it even works.  My
suggestion is to run two instances of Ices to achieve this behaviour.
