I've installed Icecast2 on RedHat 9 and am able to use WinAmp and Oddcast on a Win2000 PC to source audio to the Icecast2 server. This has helped me understand how to stream a live feed to Icecast2, which is incredibly easy and useful. My question is regarding pre-recorded audio files. If I have a series of archived live performances (let's say they were archived to MP3 files), how do I allow listeners to start these recordings on the fly, say from a web page? I'm getting the impression that IceS may be able to do this for me if the files are on my RedHat server, but do I have to launch a new IceS source for each request?
