OK. So I am running a 1.5 Ghz P4 with 256mb runing redhat 7.3 using Liveice, Lame and Icecast. Liveice and lame on the source box and icecast on the streamer box. 96k and 56k streams sound wonderful. But the 24k stream sounds like gerbils talking to each other. Any ideas of what would be causing this?

Hi: The reason 24kbps sounds bad is in part due to the fact that LAME has annoying defaults for that rate. Using mono, it defaults to 16khz. Stereo it defaults to 8khz. It can cope with 22.05khz and 11.025 khz respectively just fine at those rates. I've not used liveice, but if it's possible to specify the --resample command line option with either 22050 or 11025 as its argument (depending on mono or stereo) should improve things.

I have tried changing the sampling rates. I have tried the two you mentioned below. Still no luck. Plus, if I disable one of the streams (either the 56 or the 96) the 24k stream works fine. Is LAME having issues doing 3 streams?
