I just got done installing Fedora Core 2. I'd just like to comment for the searchable archive that anyone wishing to use ALSA with ices should download and install the appropriate "alsa-lib-devel" package. I had to poke around a bit to figure this out, and I noticed a few previous archive questions on the subject. If you are having problems getting the ALSA configuration described here (http://www.icecast.org/files/ices_docs/inputs.html) to initialize, download "alsa-lib-devel", and rebuild/install your ices binary. This seems to have fixed some sound quality issues I was after initially after the install. I haven't read up on how exactly ALSA remains compatible with OSS, but I imagine there could be potential for some degrading of the sound quality. <p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
