Hi unosonic, Cool Mic's primary advantage to other source clients out there is that it streams in the patent-free, high quality Ogg Vorbis format (BroadcastMyself only supports MP3). We will be adding opus support in the future as well. Re: Feature requests: Re-connect sounds like the next feature that will be added :) Thank you. I am fairly certain you can already use a wired microphone/headset instead of device's internal mic (haven't tested myself, don't have one ATM). A profile manager (save multiple icecast configs) are already on the TO-DO list =) Level control and VU meter as well.

I am definitely interested, and have been in something like this for a long time. Are you planning to make it available free, freemium, or paid? Do you plan to release source? Opus support is definitely of interest for me as well because my interest is in broadcasting voice vs. more complicated content like music. Also, I notice that the sample rates cap out at 44.1kHz, but Android internally defaults to 48kHz, which is also Opus's native (or, at least, most common) rate. -- Libre Video http://librevideo.org
Hi Basil, I am going to make the app free to download and eventually release it as an open source project, yes. Thank you for the hint on the 48kHz. I'm planning on making an unofficial download link for the .APK on coolmic.net as soon as I get a couple of annoying bugs squashed, I'll keep the list updated.
