on the download page for icecast, I can read in the icecast-2.2.0
changelog that there's support for AAC:
AAC is added as a supported streaming format Not too many source clients
support streaming in this format, but we support it.
but when looking at the source code for icecast-2.2.0, I can't find
reference to AAC anywhere. in particular, in format.c the
format_get_type function only distinguishes between mp3 and ogg:
format_type_t format_get_type(char *contenttype)
{
if(strcmp(contenttype, "application/x-ogg") == 0)
return FORMAT_TYPE_OGG; /* Backwards compatibility */
else if(strcmp(contenttype, "application/ogg") == 0)
return FORMAT_TYPE_OGG; /* Now blessed by IANA */
else
/* We default to the Generic format handler, which
can handle many more formats than just mp3 */
return FORMAT_TYPE_GENERIC;
}
am I missing something?

We have several users using aacPlus/HE-AAC from an Orban Opticodec-PC Streaming Encoder. This is not sad. Science marches on... Icecast2 is a very good HTTP/ICY server. -greg.

(BTW, sorry for my ignorance, is the ice protocol documented somehwere - please don't tell me 'use libshout'...)

Don't fret, Jack. Multi-format is the same as freedom and choice. /dale
