Icecast - Mar 2005 - New User Installation: Questions about live streaming

My short term goal, is to stream mp3 and add input from the mic (my voice) 
into the stream. Long term goal, internet radio with music, talk, and request 
on demand.

I downloaded, compiled, and configured ices-0.4.tar using ices.conf.dist (mp3 
files are streaming and clients [winamp, win media] connect OK). In 
the /download/ices-0.4/conf directory there are four files: ices.conf.dist, 
ices.conf.dist.in, ices.pm.dist, and ices.py.dist. 

I have used aumix to ensure that the mic is set to "R" and verified
the
settings for Line-in, PCM, and I-Gain. Then, I modified the ices.conf.dist 
file to use the example configuration. 

When using "<ices:Configuration 
xmlns:ices="http://www.icecast.org/projects/ices">", ices
complain:
Unknown Node: background
Unknown Node: logpath
Unknown Node: logfile
Unknown Node: logsize
Unknown Node: loglevel
Unknown Node: consolelog
Unknown Node: stream
 
When using "<ices>, ices complaint:
XML Parser: Document of invalid type, no ices namespace found
Logfile opened
Could not find a valid playlist file.
Ices Exiting...

The only changes are on lines 2 and last line in the config file. Is 
ices-0.4.tar.gz the latest?

ices 0.4 can't do live input. If you need to do MP3, you might try
liveice or darkice. Otherwise, ices2 is probably what you want.

Mp3 is the format of the music that I have presently, I am open to using other 
formats. I do have darkice compiled and able to access the icecast server. 
While studying how to use darkice with icecast and after reading several 
online discussions, I was convinced that maybe darkice was not the answer.

I have a labtec headphone with mic and headset plugs into the respective ports 
on the soundcard. I have darkice connecting to icecast server, checked the 
mixer settings with amuix, and know that mic is working becase I can hear 
myself thru the speakers.  However, the walkthru mentioned earlier, advised 
to plug headset into speaker port and I could not get any further with mic 
input with that configuration.

Any help with be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
