Icecast - Aug 2004 - Akos...Darkice questions

This is probably sacrilegious to speak of Shoutcast here but that's what I
am streaming  to right now.  Just a couple questions about Darkice...

quality is set to 0.5 by default.  What's the range for this and what kind
of effect does it have on the audio and the load on the system?

I've set the "public" variable to yes so it will advertise to
Shoutcasts directory but Shoutcast is sending back 2 errors.
<08/28/02@09:28:45> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)
<08/28/02@09:28:45> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (invalid
bitrate)

Maybe there's no help for this here but I thought I'd ask.

Matt

please refer to the darkice.cfg man page:

        quality
               The quality of encoding a value between 0.0 ..  1.0
               (e.g. 0.8), with 1.0 being the highest quality. Use
               a value greater than 0.0. Only used when cbr or vbr
               bit rate modes are specified.

I guess "invalid bitrate" say it all? :)
