The playlist one is what you want, but you WILL want to modify it. They're examples, and use a set of options I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to use in a real system.> >I'm not even sure that it's working because when icecast runs, and >ices runs, I try to connect to the source from another machine >and it says stream not found.

The high cpu usage is probably because it's encoding - for live input you have to encode, and the playlist example config turns reencoding on for one mountpoint (as an example of how to do it). So turn that off. The logfile is set in that file to /tmp/ices.log, so you can look in there and see if any error messages are being produced.

Hi Michael!
I found those files and played with them. The live stream seems
good.
When I stream in mono/64 the sound is clean, but sending a playlist of
ogg files makes it all sound like it's underwater. :(
Maybe I have something messed up in the playlist config. It didn't
like when I changed it from 2 to 1 channels. I guess the samplerate and
channels is dependent on the ogg file being re-encoded.
The OGG stream of the live broadcast sounds a heckuva lot clearer
than a MP3 of similar bitrate though!
Tom

Hi Geoff! Thanks for your help on all of this! Well everything compiled happily. libshout, ices and icecast. I've been messing about with ices and icecast .xml config files but I'm a bit confused. Does this new ices only handle live input from the sound card or can I send it a batch of files to use? I'm not even sure that it's working because when icecast runs, and ices runs, I try to connect to the source from another machine and it says stream not found. Yet, ices is taking up like 95% cpu time. I looked in contrib and saw a run_ices script that makes a xml file, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Do you have any sample ices and icecast .xml config files I could look at and change? I can't seem to get the source working right. Thanks!
