It doesn't do on-demand relaying. The design is such that it should be easy to add, but I (and as far as I know, the other current developers) have no intention of implementing it in the near future. Patches are welcome.

Any possibility for the future?As described, this wouldn't even vaguely work - the protocols just don't allow it. However, you could get the same effect using some sort of on-demand relaying. Icecast2 doesn't currently support that - but it's designed so that it should be possible (and not even too difficult) to do so.

Is this likely to be added to IceCast2 in the near future?Icecast2 supports relaying, but not "relay on demand"... where relays are only opened if a listener connects. Relays are opened when Icecast2 runs, they're available the whole time. Honestly, I think if a radio stream is worried about wasting bandwidth by streaming and not having anyone listen, you should really look into just putting standalone audio programs and music on a website until you can count on more listenership. <p> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Apparently IceCast v1 supports relaying. Is this likely to be added to IceCast2 in the near future?
