I have been successful in running a playlist through Ices and Icecast...
I have run into difficulty running a live stream through the soundcard,
however...
The following is the log when I attempt to run ices ices-mylive.xml:
INFO ices-core/main ices started...
EROR input-oss/oss_open_module Couldn't set sample format to AFMT_S16_LE
EROR input/input_loop Couldn't initialise input module "oss"
INFO ices-core/main Shutdown complete

The config is pretty simple, a SuSE 8.0 box. Soundcard is a SB Pro 2
using OSS.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

This maybe due to some limitation of the hardware/driver with respect to the specified samplerate. Try 11025 or some other common one like 22050 or 44100 and resample to the wanted rate.> <input> > <module>oss</module> > <param name="rate">11000</param> <!-- samplerate 22050 best--> > <param name="channels">1</param> <!-- number of channels --> > <param name="device">/dev/dsp</param> <!-- audio device --> > <param name="metadata">0</param> > <param name="metadatafilename">test</param> > </input>Set metadata to 1 if you want the metadata to be read from the file. 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.

Thanks for the advice.... I think I might have an easier way to do what I want (I'm providing an audio stream for an amateur radio club. They'll plug a radio into the server's soundcard and it'll broadcast the stream). I tried using the stdinpcm module and did an "ices ices-stdin.xml < /dev/audio" and voila!!! <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.
