If, and when I get around to it, I will post my source for the alpha architecture. I will have a go at ices then.. Do I fork i.e.. Pipe the command line with ices and my mpeg3 player, i.e., Mpg123? If so. How. I haven't a slightest clue as to how to structure the command line in question. ja. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

If you do not have a soundcard AND you are not planning to re-encode the mp3's (ie. they are already at the bit-rate you want) then using liveice would be a waste of cpu cycles (as it always re-encodes and that takes a fair bit of cpu power) Try Ices instead of liveice it's much more stable than Shout, and if you're not re-encoding it wont eat your cpu time. Otherwise you'll need to get an encoder, like lame.

So why are you >using liveice?The Alpha is the server on the local network, and it doesnt have the need for a soundcard. I would like to stream to other computers on the network that do have a soundcard. Why liveice? Why not? It is one of the few programs that i dont have to hack at repeatedly enabling them to work. Shout fails to compile and since i am not the maintainer of the code, i dont want to spend too much time cracking at it to find out why it fails. ja. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
