Hello, I would need an advice on how to change the setup of my streaming server. The box is an AMD Sempron 2800+ 512MB of RAM, nvidia nforce2 chipset, running on an OpenBSD 3.7. Changing the OS is the last thing I am prepared to do. The system is runing icecast 2.2.0 and Darkice 0.15beta (live streaming). Because POSIX scheduling is not supported in OpenBSD (darkice message on startup) I am experiencing recording skips (shoutcast stream: http://194.165.104.23:8020/ icecast stream: http://213.143.67.249:8000/high.ogg). Ices is actualy working very well. Why not use it, because I have to send an mp3 stream to our streaming provider who supports only shoutcast. So the configuration looks like this: D A ogg --Stream1---\ R ogg --Stream2--------> Icecast Server 2.2.0 K ogg --Stream3--------> (local) I ogg --Stream4---/ C mp3 --Stream5-------------------> SHOUTCAST (streaming provider) E The PC already has two soundcards. One is needed for streaming (darkice) the other one is for digital audio archive. I was thinking to start streaming with ices2 to icecast server and ices0.3 to shoutcast, but it seems that ices0.3 can't stream live audio? Any ideas? If it helps I can add another soundcard. Thanks for help. Regards, Mitja

So the configuration looks like this:liveice (http://liveice.sourceforge.net/) would seem a possible solution for you. karl.
