We may have to revert to IceS 0.4 because normally the audio stream is in MP3 format, but when IceS takes over when there is no live programming, it requires the files be in Ogg Vorbis now. I suspected this would be a problem for us. I thought that if files were in Ogg format, IceS would send them to Icecast and Icecast would re-encode them or otherwise handle them appropriately.

So yes, Ices 0.4 is what you want. Icecast doesn't do any encoding or transcoding. If you want to do that, you'll need to use some kind of transcoding utility. But using Ices 0.4 will likely work better in your situation. Geoff.
Affirmative. I'm off to do the deed now. Should I remove the old and then build from source?
