There is a patch thats adds quality and vbr,abr mode to be configured by config file but I am not sure Akos had included yet :).

are there any decent alternatives to live audio streaming [via. soundcard] to darkice or liveice? after a few days fighting with darkice, i finally managed to bring it up only to see that it takes 55% of my cpu just to encode one 128kbps stream using libmp3lame. a similar 128kbps stream only takes up 36% cpu using liveice. maybe i have something configured wrong, but i was sortof expecting darkice to be a little less resource intensive than liveice... maybe i have something configured incorrectly with darkice? in any event, if there are some great alternatives to liveice or darkice out there, i'd be happy to look into them. i was extremely happy to have found ices a few months ago. it had been there all along, just not described or explained very well. i'm guessing there is something else out there i just didn't notice yet waiting to be used. =) thanks! <p>--- >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.

I haven't look at it recently, but I think it's still at http://muse.dyne.org. It's a bit more resource intensive than liveice, but it has a nice interface, and is more feature rich than the others. Of course, I think that when it comes to icecast2, I'd use ices for all my OggVorbis streaming. (I tried darkice a while ago, but I wasn't too impressed with it as an Mp3 streamer, however it's an OK Ogg streamer.) -- ------------------------------------------------ Joe Bowser - bowserj@unbc.ca ------------------------------------------------ <p><p>--- >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.
