Icecast - Sep 2004 - Ices2 and Jack

>From what I have read on some mailing lists, there is a jack module for
ices2
that works quite well.  Why isn't this information on the ices2 web page or
documentation?  Ices is useless to me without this, yet so awesome with it.  I
saw requests from people for you to do this over a month ago.  What's the
problem?

Thanks,
Daniel

P.S. I couldn't search this list to find out if this topic has already been
addressed here, because there is no search interface on the list page, and no
information on how to do so.

> What's the problem?
the jack module is only available in a development branch of ices2,
ices2-kh[1], which still depends on the development branch of libshout2-
kh[2].

so until a new version of libshout2 is released which would work with
ices2-kh, it is not a good idea to release ices2-kh as ices2.1.

until all this is sorted out you will find the latest versions in svn
[1][2] or at http://ices.reboot.fm/  or  http://mediacast1.com/~karl/

talk about coincidene: here's a short ices-jack-pico howto i posted
to linux-audio-user today:

i forgot: you need to do ./autogen before the configure step.

makes a nice delay effect :) if you use feedback, there's interesting sound
deterioration due to repeated ogg-encoding/decoding and noise buildup.here's
me toying around with my bass and such a setup:

if you have problems setting up jack, i suggest we discuss this on
linux-audio-user or the jackit list, it's probably not interesting
for most people here.

Excellent!

I don't know if you included this, but the autogen part probably implies a
dependency on some (newer) versions of autoconf/automake/libtool?

Thanks,
