Hello ...>From the icecast website (www.icecast.com) i found the following info > (i copy-pasted it):{ Note that icecast-1 is deprecated and unsupported, and may possibly induce nausea in small children, hair loss in men, and estrogen fluctuations in women. If, for some reason, you absolutely must have ancient versions of icecast (possibly for historic preservation), download icecast 1.3.12. Note that this is deprecated and unsupported. } I have a project whereby it is required to multicast audio streams. I'm so much interested with icecast-2 , but it doesn't support multicast. The 'LiveCaster" application can multicast audio streams from icecast, but it can only multicast mp3 audio streams. So, it can't be used with icecast-2 as icecast-2 streams Ogg Vorbis streams.

There are, of course, icecast 1.x users on this list who can answer questions. but it seems that a lot of people are getting their feet wet with icecast2, as it nears release status.

Please advice me there, as when i looked into ices2 XML files it seemed like they are for Ogg Vorbis only.
