While I also find this to be a considerable problem, one has to understand that open source authors can not be _forced_ to do anything. One might disaggree with an author, but that's how far one can go. <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 certainly don't wish to be spoon feed just pointed in the right direction. After all the purpose for joining this list was so I could join a community of like minds. In the end I know I can find a solution, but if the case is that everyone finds a solution by themselfs then this list is pointless.

For Icecast2 there is valid reasons for the level of support... But what about icecast1's Documentation? We all know that it is lacking thats why I started using this group.
