Excellent.  Wasn't sure if that was all that was needed, glad to see it is.

Well, maybe Esound has some fascility for this kind of thing.  If not, 
maybe your sound hardware has the ability to capture either the wave or 
master outputs.  I've not messed with macs, only x86 machines, so am not 
sure of their capabilities.

Thanks !
changed the format to MP3, am getting the icecast stream now.

Just realized that esound is capturing the microphone input, wanted to 
stream the music being played by itunes (basically something like 
hijacking+streaming the audio). This dosent come under icecast, just 
wondering if u know of anything related.

Well, now that I look at it, example.c is the one assuming that it's 
vorbis.  You may be able to get away with changing line 51 which 
currently reads:

      if (shout_set_format(shout, SHOUT_FORMAT_VORBIS) != 
SHOUTERR_SUCCESS) {

Note that this is from the 2.0 tarball, there may be newer code, not 
sure. Anyway, editing that line may work, don't know.

Didn't know that nicecast wasn't open source, didn't look that much 
into it.

Dwipal,

Nicecast is a *very* good piece of software. We used it for six months
or so to broadcast an internet radio station. Just recently we
"graduated" to Icecast/Ices for our OSX streaming, but we have no hard
feelings about paying the (very reasonable) fee for Nicecast. It's
remarkable how easy to use it is!

I compiled Ices and Icecast on my own OS X. I originally used fink to
do this, but couldn't get Ices to compile. So instead I used the
version available on darwinports, and that compiled perfectly - you
might try that.

Best,
Dan
