Icecast - Aug 2004 - using the latest icecast and ices to stream both ogg and mp3

I've gotten a request from another broadcasting partner to set up yet
another streaming audio server. They would like to stream in both ogg
and mp3 formats from off a single icecast machine. I have been searching
through the archives and I have seen this mentioned as being possible,
but no real configurations. 
I would of course place LAME on the box and use that for streaming just
as I would for icecast1. 
Any suggestions? Or do I have to install both icecast1 and icecast2 on
the same server and have them both running, but broadcasting on
different ports?
Any suggestions and config files would be appreciated.
KJ

mp3 and ogg can be streamed via icecast, and because no encoding goes on
in icecast the mountpoints and options for those mountpoints can be
stated generically, so besides the mountpoint ending in .ogg (really
because of listening clients) there's no difference. at the icecast
level.

ices2 will produced ogg streams and ices 0.3 will produce mp3, but as
for the particular configuration, that will depend on what your
requirements are, eg live or playlist

So basically, I download and install ices 0.3, fire it up as well and
then using the currently running icecast server, just set a new
mountpoint. Instead of /ksl.ogg I would make a /ksl.mp3 mountpoint. This
would be configured in the configuration file included with ices 0.3?
I am only doing live streaming, feeding a raw audio feed into the box,
and then encoding it on the fly.
Thanks much.

What are the current good options for encoding a live stream in icecast format?

I know about ices 0.3 for Unices, and WinAmp/Oddcast for Windows. Is 
there a current good option for Macintosh? How about using any of the 
encoders with QuickTime, Real, or Windows Media?

With WinAmp/Oddcast, if I use the latest versions, I can't currently 
set it up to reboot to automatically start streaming. It used to 
work, but I think that fell out of the code. Any ETA on it coming 
back?
