[icecast] liveice/lame problem

I've set up Liveice on a Yellowdog Linux laptop (YDL 2.0). I'm trying
to stream to an icecast server on another YDL 2.0 system.

Streaming seems to be fine, but encoding is pure garbage. When I
listen to the stream, it basically sounds like white noise. The
intesity of the hum depends on the strength of the sound being
encoded, though. If I stop playing the CD, it drops to a  gentle hum,
turn it on I hear a loud one.

I'm assuming the problem is with lame encoding (so to speak). I'm
using LAME 3.7. I've tried encoding at several different speeds (bit
rate and encoding), and well as setting the -h switch, all with no
difference. Anyone else seen this? Suggestions?
