Icecast - May 2013 - Query related to icecast server version 2.3.2

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm a newbie to work at icecast server. My required application is to 
play songs through different channels(approximately 100) at the icecast server
with
source client. I gone through the link www.icecast.org , and got some 
idea related to my requirement. And also i have gone through a video for
streaming audio in icecast server and tried with the same. Almost i got it with
the combination of icecast server, butt and ffmp3 player by watching that video,
but at the final stage i couldn't able to stream the playlist, some
problem with source client i guess.


Now i just want to know the prerequisites packages mentioned under 
documents section in the link and those packages are given below:


" libxml2 - http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html libxslt -
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/downloads.html curl - http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
(>= version 7.10 required)"

These prerequisites packages how it is related to icecast server. Please do
reply asap, it is appreciated.

?
Thanks and Regards

Then please make sure you've read and understood the documentation at:

That should be no problem at all for Icecast to handle. I know of
instances that have >1000 streams.

It's hard to guess what's going wrong. But I'd suggest to examine
the
logs and output for all of the involved applications.
In case of Icecast check error.log and also check if the stream is
listed on the web interface. If it doesn't appear, then it's not
connected (except when 'hidden' was explicitly set).

You say that you have Icecast already running. That would mean, that
those are of no concern to you.

If you don't have Icecast installed, then yes, those are required, but
should be automatically satisfied if you install a distribution package.
Which again would mean, that the above is of no concern to you.
Please refer to this page for further details about installing a
distribution package:

Should you have more questions, please send them to the mailing list.
Thanks.
