Thanks!  Just tried it.  Works well once I got through some wonkiness with my
own server and forgetting its URL.  First issue for me is that the back button
on the phone takes you out of the app completely from any screen within the app.
I had the expectation that it would just navigate the pages back.

Relatedly, where would you like feedback and bud reports to go?

Libre Video

works ;)

ideas and observations:
- show also bitrates insted of ogg quality settings only
- maybe a more consistent handling of the back button, i.e. when in menus
- seems i can't stop broadcasting ... ? "Stop Broadcast"
doesn't do anything,
  only "Quit" stops it.
- an reliable indicator that we're broadcasting (the red flashing appeared
  only once, now it shows a text "connected to server", but no other
sign)

i've tested on a Samsung S2, on 4.1.2, so far from latest & greatest...

Thank you all so far for the feedback. I've forwarded this to my dev
team, right now they are working on improvements based on what I've
received so far. I'll keep list updated on progress and new versions if
that doesn't seem to spammy. My goal is for Cool Mic to be the most
stable and functional (and open source!) Android source client for
Icecast that supports open codecs.


Cheers,
Jordan
