>ices2 will encode/reencode/relay to more than one server.I searched for documentation about ices2 and found two, one of them http://quasi.ksl.com/icecast/docs/Unofficial%20Icecast%20HOWTO.pdf where link to the other was incuded (which i found before though). All what I saw was that it only supports encoding streams from soundcard input or playlist, but not a stream (from Oddcast DSP). You said however that it supports relaying. Do you mean it takes an input stream (such as from an url like http://someserver:8000/stream.ogg), reencodes it via specified settings and sends it to icecast 2? If so, can you tell how to confiture Ices 2 to do so?

Hello I've been playing around with Icecast, Oddcast DSP v2 and streamTranscoder, trying to get multiple streams with different bitrates in ogg format running. The source I am streaming is from Winamp 2.80 Oddcast DSP v2 serving to a linux compilation (got it from CVS just yesterday) of Icecast 2. I also compiled streamTranscoder 1.1 and after much trial got a not really stable second stream running. streamTranscoder tends to hickup the sound and crash however, and it does not seem possible to run more then one instance (got broken pipe then). Can you tell me any alternative software that provides this functionality? I read about Ices2, darkice and liveice but these dont seem to be able to take an (ogg-) stream for datainput. Also, if you were to set up multiple icecast servers, how would you do that?

How to do that? Is there an url describing how? Ices2 might be an option too, it all depends on which option provides more stable and better quality streams (keeping number of reencodes at a minimum, thus). I imagine this setup: The following Systems on my own shdsl line (just 768kbit/s though): - One Windows Box where the original stream comes from. - One Linux Box Hosting Icecast 2 and Ices2 where Ices2 recieves the ogg stream from the Windows box, makes 2 or 3 streams with different bitrates out of it and sends it to the Icecast 2 server on the same box. - Optionally a different box somewhere on the internet to which either just the highest bitrate stream or all streams are sent to in case my bandwidth on my own line is not enougth.
