I'm trying to set up a web based radio station, not having any problems
getting things working, however I'm having a major problem with buffering on
the remote clients. Winamp almost constantly buffers when i'm listening on
my 2.5Mbit DSL connection. With shoutcast it is not a problem (though I
can't use stream-db with it).
Here's the setup:
Duron 850Mhz 320MB RAM
Maxtor 7200RPM 20GB
100mbit FD to switched colo network, realizes speeds of about 30mbit up.
stream-db and stream-php into icecast 1.3.11. Reencoded to 128kbit, source
is all 192kbit MP3
FYI, my dsl at home is about 5 hops away with pings of approx 13ms, and like
I said it is not a problem at all with shoutcast and ices.
Cranking the buffer up to 320 or 512kbit in winamp solves the problem, but
I'd like it to work properly by default.
