>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?

That got it working. Partly. I managed to get two streams running (thus with two encode sections) on a static playlist, but when I have the stream as input it will only have the first of the two active, the second does not work. Why? Also, I saw a different configuration with mutiple streams that worked with the run_ices command. What's up with this? What's the difference between this and the two encode sections in the configuration file?
