Icecast - Apr 2007 - can i mix stream data from 2 source clients?

hello,

I just started to learn icecast, it is really great.
I use icecast2.3 as server and oddcastV3 as source
client to capture live data from microphone in Windons
XP.

Here is my technical question:

I like to be able to manage source clients (for
Windows XP) configurations dynamically. 

So, i like to use web interfaces to save dynamically
generated configuration file for connecting the server
to each source client 

After this, the user just need to start the source
client software which sees the new configuration
automatically and can stream live data from microphone


I think oddcast3 does not take configuration in a
file.

Can anyone suggest me a source client software that
can take a text-based configuration file and also work
for live data such as microphone?

Thanks

hi,

Using Icecast,
is there any way to combine stream data from multiple
source clients and produce a single mixed stream data?

thanks

icecast does not do anything to the stream. You'd have to pull those two
streams from the server and mix them on a client (that may of course run
on the same computer as the server). Due to variable lag on streams this
would be nearly impossible to synchronize.

If you want to mix voice + music in sync I'd recommend a VoIP link
between the two PCs and feeding icecast the mixed audio from the one
playing the music.

hi,

I tried to build libshout 2.2.2 in my pc using cygwin.
/.configure produce the messages below. Anyone knows
how to fix it. Thanks
