Icecast - Aug 2004 - Multiple Ogg Streams

>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?

if you are getting the ogg data from a stream then you can just state a 
- in the playlist and it will read it from stdin.

curl ..  http://host:port/mountpoint.ogg | ices ices-playlist.xml

ideally the playlist should be more flexible and allow starting of
external programs but not just yet.

Thank you! 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?
