Icecast - Aug 2004 - Lame, Bitrates, ReEncoding I

I'd like to use the Bitrate and Reencode features of ices and understand I
must recompile with lamelib.

However, it's Very Unclear where to begin here. This is noted in the
ices-0.2.3 INSTALL file:

        I installed lame as a debian package so lame.h is in
/usr/include/lame/lame.h
        and libmp3lame.a is in /usr/lib. configure finds everything
automatically.

<p>I assume we go here -> http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/ compile, install
then go
back to
ices with:

  --with-lame[=DIR]           enable support for reencoding with lame [in
DIR]

<p>--but what are we pointing at? And just for general precaution's
sake: is
there an "oh yeah, that too" I need to know about beforehand?

I'm running:

icecast-1.3.12/
ices-0.2.3/

Can anyone tell me what characters should be escaped when building playlists
to use for liveice, ices or anything else?  Ive been doing trial and error
guessing and I am trying to make a playlist builting script so I don't have
to make a new one everytime I upload something new to my server.. and also
sort it into an order based on a rule system simular to the one that guy
made @ oddsock.org

Thanks
-Dave

Ok, not bad -be sure to rm config.cache if ices has already been compiled.
Then

./configure --with-lame-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-lame-includes=/usr/l
ocal/include/lame/ >configure.out

Check configure.out for:

updating cache ./config.cache
checking for lame/lame.h... yes
checking for lame_init_old in -lmp3lame... yes
checking for lame_encode_flush_nogap in -lmp3lame... yes
updating cache ./config.cache

Change:
        <Bitrate>80</Bitrate>
        <Reencode>1</Reencode>

And this now streams at 80k/32khz --but we're still not sure if those
settings are OK.
