Icecast - Aug 2004 - ices2/icecast2 on a pen 100

hello,

I got icecast2 and ices2 going on an old Pen 100 box. It's streaming a
lecture given by Richard Stallman at the University of Aberystwyth in
June 2002. 

The files are found on http://www.6809.org.uk/audio/

I had put the sample rate down to 24000, as the Pen 100 seem not to be
able to handle anything about that. According ps aux, ices is taking 91
percent cpu. The box is working just fine otherwise. 

The url for listening is:

What is recommened for ogg streams at higher sample rates? Pen 200?

Well, obviously, it's the re-encoding that chews up all the CPU, so if you
want to just stream oggs as they are, it shouldn't require much at all.  I
have a P2/266 and 22khz mono/quality -1 (aprox 24kbps) takes up about 22%
CPU and 44.1khz stereo/quality 0 (aprox 64kbps) takes about 77%.  These
were measured when doing a live broadcast with ices taking input from the
soundcard, so there'd be decoder overhead that would need to be factored in
here too.
