Hello everybody... I figure this is not exactly an icecast question, but maybe someone might be able to help. Icecast runs nicely as far as I can see, and so does liveice, apart from the fact I don't get any input signal fed into it. I think it's due to the fact it expects the signal on line in by default and the souncard only has a mic in. So I tried to use the built in mixer mode, which firstly bailed out since it was lacking the seemingly required /playlist file. When I touched that, it dumped core instead :-% Could anybody shed some light on what I should do best - get another soundcard ...? System's FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE, icecast from a cvsup'd ports tree and liveice is the latest version available from the website.

To change your soundcard mixer setting just use an external mixer application like xmixer - you don't sound like you're going to need the internal mixer mode. -- Scott Manley (AKA Szyzyg) Streaming Media Hacker www.myplay.com --- >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.

It works like a charm by now and my boss is satisfied :-% Cheers, jan -- Radio HUNDERT,6 Medien GmbH Berlin - EDV - j.muenther@radio.hundert6.de --- >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.

Just set SOUNDCARD and NO_MIXER, then use the "mixer" command (installed by default on my FreeBSD 4.3 box) to select microphone as the recording input source. The command line is like this: mixer =rec mic (I assume you've rebuilt the FreeBSD kernel so that you do have sound card support, and that you built the required device nodes as specified at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound.html ). - Matt (Check out KGNU Live at http://www.kgnu.org/ ). --- >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.

Hello,> The command > line is like this: > mixer =rec micThanks, I wasn't common with that directive, I only used to set volume levels with 'mixer' ;)> > (I assume you've rebuilt the FreeBSD kernel so that you do > have sound card > support, and that you built the required device nodes as > specified atWell, erm, quite. Apart from the above lapsus I'm pretty common with FreeBSD... ;) Thanks, I'll try it right away.
