Icecast - Aug 2004 - Howto stream using icecast/ices bit rate peeled ogg files

Icecast / Vorbis community,

I have a icecast/ices audio streaming server from which I stream ogg audio
files.  I know that I can encode different streams for low, medium and /or
high quality broadcasts (for example).  However, I would like to have one
stream that uses bit rate peeling to send the user the highest quality
stream that their bandwidth will allow.

Has any one done this?  Does any one know if this currently possible?

Thank you,

Alan Young

PS. I have the tools to bit rate peel a file, I just don’t know how to get
it to work with icecast/ices.

That would be a ideal solution but strictly speaking bitrate peeling is
a todo feature.  The spec allows for it but the current encoders are not
tuned enough for doing that sort of thing well enough.  ices currently
has no support for it yet, so re-encoding is the current solution.

Thanks.  Do you or any one have an idea about when the functionality
(ices) will be implemented?

Thanks for any information!
