hello ., i've got icecast2/ices2 (libshout/libao ) compiled/running from cvs . everything SEEMS fine . goes for 7o odd minutes , i can listen off my laptop , but then it'll disconnect . i'll check the server _ and it has crashed, or at least, my keyboard doesn't work but i can still change tty's ?? this happened after about 2o minutes (i think) when i had it set w/ 441oo/stereo input / downmix 22o50 reencode output . and the logs are untouched .. initialize just fine , but the server craps out before they can be updated w/ an error msg . i'm using ALSA 0.9 debian source-pkg, compiled by myself .. and libao was compiled w/ alsa09 and oss-broken-fix . (using 2.2 kernel ) . and my system load is below .1 ( VERY fast processor/ lots of memory , so this shouldn't be a problem ) _ and this is all local on my hub / no outside IP . any help would be appreciated .. i've been trying to get a live 2-stream /hi/lo feed for over a month now . ( liveice doesn't seem to work on my machine w/ more than 1 feed ! gh.. and now this ) . and i REALLY don't want to go back to winD0ze . thanks .. a:/, <p>--- >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.

If by tty's you mean the console then they can switch even though processing has stopped as interrupt routines can get serviced.> i'm using ALSA 0.9 debian source-pkg, compiled by myself .. and libao was > compiled w/ alsa09 and oss-broken-fix .

Running something like ices (or any streamer) involves constant CPU use so heat could be a factor. Make sure you have a recent kernel for recent hardware, there are always some subtle bugs that need to be sorted. The newer athlons for instance need some tweaks for reliability as some BIOSes don't program them correctly (the usual problem). Other things to check could be the alsa drivers, check against OSS and any other recent alsa driver package (www.alsa-project.org). The X server can be eliminated by stopping the server (init 3) and just run ices off the console. If it still happens then just check what happens to the processes over that period of time. vmstat 1 is usually good. karl. <p>--- >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.
