Icecast - Mar 2012 - Hardware-based Icecast source client

Yes the barix extreamers work fine with icecast. I used to use them as studio to
transmitter links for a radio station.

What's a plug computer?

Does anyone know if Barix extreamers work with IceCast?

Hi all.

Digging up an old topic I know, but one that might have hopefully 
changed since I last asked over a year ago.

I've had to rebuild our stations server, so used the Centos RPM build 
for Icecast. Everything is working great, but I'd completely forgotten 
that the dump file doesnt work as it should unless I compile from source 
rather than use the RPM.

Is there a way around this, or will I have to rebuild from source? I'd 
rather not, as last time the web admin part of icecast never every worked.

Thanks
Huw
