However, all use an external encoder. Most use the lame encoder, however some (like MuSE) also have support for OggVorbis, which you should consider looking at. As for what the problem is with darkice, what encoder are you using? What bitrate are you trying to encode at? -- ------------------------------------------------ Joe Bowser - bowserj@unbc.ca Student Director Education Alternative Radio Society ----------------------------------------------- http://web.unbc.ca/~bowserj/ --- >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.

Hi list, I am wanting to stream audio live to my sound card, have it compressed on the fly and sent to my icecast server. I had a look at darkice (http://darkice.sourceforge.net) but I didn't seem to be able to get that to work, the stream skipped seriously and no config options or different encoder I used managed to get it sounding normal. The machine I am using to do the live encoding is an AMD Duron 800 with 128 mb of ram which I assume would be able to handle atleast 1 or 2 streams with realtime encoding. Is there any other alternatives I can use to darkice? Any help greatly appreciated.

Couple of solutions you can check out. Liveice (http://star.arm.ac.uk/~spm/software/liveice.html) will do it. It has been out for some time. I had problems with it under earlier versions of FreeBSD as liveice was written for Linux in mind and there were some problems with how liveice was talking to piped files. I wrote a perl script that also does live MP3 streaming to a pre-2.0 icecast and shoutcast servers. You can find it at http://www.lns.com/papers/mixice.
