ices 0.3 doesn't do live streaming, IIRC darkice does

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.

I'm afraid ices 0.x doesn't encode live streaming. You would have to
pipe the audio into an encoder by hand, and feed stdin to ices.

You might consider http://darkice.sourceforge.net/ as an
alternative. I think it can do MP3 and Ogg from one process, though
I've never used it myself.

darkice is an execellent bit of software, very well written. and the
author of the darkice software, akos, is very active on the darkice ML.

http://yp.tilos.hu:9000/tilos_high.ogg <= for a darkice stream.
