Icecast - Aug 2004 - Icecast Shoutcast Darwin Oddcast Questions

Dear Mr. 'Sock --

First let me say "Major Thanks!!!" for your work in developing the
Oddcast
plugin.  I'm putting it to great use and will send you an article that I 
recently published regarding my usage of the software...

I have a couple of questions I'm wondering if you can help me with...

(1) Is there a version (any version) of a streaming source feed for Linux 
that behaves correctly with the Shoutcast directories (yp.shoutcast.com) 
beyond SC_TRANS from Nullsoft?  I'm running Oddcast/Winamp3 into a Linux 
version of the Shoutcast Server but it doesn't seem to recognize the 
metadata correctly.  Ices2?

(2) As mentioned above, SC_TRANS seems to be the only viable 
Shoutcast-friendly streaming system.  Problem is, it seems to only like 
44100-based streams, which is problem when all my source materials are 
16kbps/11025khz.  Any work-around for this?  SC_TRANS doesn't seem to have 
any support for relays from my understanding...

(3) I'm currently evaluating a Darwin from Apple as a (*gasp*) alternative 
to Icecast/Icecast2.  The primary reasons are video support, strong iTunes 
support, and very nice admin GUI/docs for the non-technical among use.  I'm 
able use Shoutcast as a relay for this system, but again, I've been unable 
to make the Shoutcast directories recognize the stream.  Ideally, I have 
one streaming source (in this case Darwin) and multiple relay servers that 
push the data into the various services and directories.

Thanks again for all your help.

ipv6 should already be supported, if you're having a problem with it
then let us know.

Actually ... which Icecast do you mean, 1.x or 2? Icecast 1.x isn't
supported any more, but you might be able to Google for a 3rd party IPv6
patch. If you mean Icecast2, there is support but no "release" yet,
you
would have to install a snapshot or get the source directly from CVS.
It's no big deal, though. http://www.icecast.org/download.html is a
starting point.
