Icecast - Feb 2014 - Opus supported source client without transcoding?

Hi!

I'm looking for a Linux source client that supports the Opus codec and
doesn't transcode/re-encode the music files.

I have tried both mpd and Liquidsoap, but both re-encodes the media
files even if they already are in Opus.

I would like to be able to pre-encode my music library to, lets say,
100 kbit/s Opus files and then just stream them as-is. This would save
storage space, CPU cycles and audio quality.

What source client would you recommend me to try out?

I think at the moment your only option might be oggfwd and figuring out
a way how to feed files into it through a pipe in the order you want.
You could try ez-stream, but I'm not sure it will work. Ices2 currently
doesn't support opus.

Okey, thanks. Do you have any idea what I might use for feedings files
to oggfwd?

I have done a bit of searching, but I can't really find anything. With
mpd it's possible to set a file as output with their fifo output
plugin: http://www.musicpd.org/doc/user/ch05s06.html#idp58733200 But
it seems like it's a PCM stream and not the file as-is.
