Given at this point I can see 174kbit/44khz on winamp, and this at times fluctuates with mp3 which have been encoded VBR (right?) --I've yet to compile lame in. Listening to these streams from afar is not comfortable to impossible. Will com piling lame into ices magically deal with this? So obviously I can change the bitrate, drop that to 80ish --but what about 44khz (sampling rate?) shouldn't that be dropped as well? And if so what to/ where should this be changed? <p>If there are Secret Email Archives replete with documentation addressing these issues I'd be much obliged if pointed that way. <p>Cheers, -zeek --- >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.
