Icecast - Apr 2013 - configuration

hi guys,

i just started icecast streaming, its very basic setup where i can
broadcast my own voice via mic to pc and the pc act as source (i used ices)
to a server in cloud. its very simple after spending many sleepless
nights...

can any one tell me about the configurations and best practices, as i see
the  documentation in
http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.3/icecast2_config_file.html is good
to get started, but i want to tune configuration.

i want to know about fine tuning audio quality, security, any other stuff
related to noise reduction or any thing makes me good at configuring stream.

can you please improve it for new guys like me.

With Best
-Ashwin.

This is the authoritative documentation, there is not much beyond that.
If you have specific questions about parts or something is unclear, then
you can ask here on the mailing list.

As Icecast doesn't touch the stream content, the quality and other audio
parameters are out of the scope. That is something that you'll have to
tackle on the side of the source client.

We're happy to improve our documentation, but for that we need to know
what is unclear or missing.
You can also file tickets about documentation at https://trac.xiph.org
