Icecast - Aug 2004 - combined mp3 and vorbis stream

Jake,

You could decode the compressed audio to raw audio, pipe it into the ice system
and have it "re-encode" to a consistent bitrate and format
(Vorbis/MP3). If there's nothing with the Ice software that's this
versatile, you'll have to write a small shell script, which does something
like calls ogg123/mpg123 and outputs decoded audio.

Now I mention this as potentially useful information -- NOT a solition. A better
answer than mine would have more specifics, but this may work. I assume it does,
because I know you can decode on the command-line, and I know you  can stream
live input. I just haven't tested this.

cheers,

Scott

Thanks for that Scott. I've got two streams running now, one just reads
my ogg files from a playlist as before, the other one reads input from
stdin which is created by a script like this:

...
        for i in `cat /etc/icecast/mp3.playlist`
        do
        mpg123 -w - $i | ices /etc/icecast/ices_stdin.xml 
        done
...
where ices_stdin.xml uses the stdin module rather than the playlist
module.

Very simple but it took me a while to figure out.

Cheers,
Jake
