Here's what I got:
a running shoutcast server, and doing just fine thanks. machine is a
crapola with a 486 dx/4 24meg, running SuSE kernel 2.2.16, no X, no
soundcard, runs secondary DNS and serves NFS. nothing else, hell, doesn't
even have a monitor attached. http, sendmail and others run on another box
that has more *oomph*, in case you're wondering. icecast 1.4.0 compiled on
the crapola machine
a win98 box streaming to the running shoutcast server. THIS WORKS FINE.
My dilemma:
I don't want to use the win98 box to stream the audio. without going into
much detail, suffice it to say that it is very inconvenient to stream from
that box, because it gets used for other stuff.
So, I compiled shout on the machine that runs the shoutcast server waaaay
back in May.
If I understand correctly, I *don't* need a soundcard on the crapola box, or
am I wrong...?
This is what happens when I start shout (notice that it correctly rejects a
file with a 160kbit bitrate):

#### END
My brain is starting to hurt. What makes me really suspicious is this
"error in read" and then, "broken pipe" message. mp3 files
are all world
readable, of course.
So, do I need a sound card in the crapola box, or not?
