...nd serve content. But now it is making IceCast unstable. I first hit problems when decreasing the bitrate to 16000 and the sample rate to 11025. I tried to move things back up, but it seems to be completley unstable and a mess. Does anyone have suggestions? By leaving LAME and trying to go with L3ENC or whatever the current version is -- will that improve stability? Anyone have any tips? I really don't want to go the Windows route -- but I don't want to babysit the stuff either. LiveIce seems like an okay application -- except stability. Is there anything else to feed live audio outside...

...q5 I know, we're usually unable to percieve those phase correlations above 10 kHz, But a Dolby Prologic Decoder isn't. I think a future version of OggEnc which is able to use a user-selectable stereo mode would be graet. I think back to the time, where everyone just realized that the old L3ENC destroyed phase correlations using intensity stereo and thus being unable to handle dolby surround effects correctly. Most people switched to "Pure"-stereo hoping to get a better sounding file... And as a Ogg/Vorbis fan... i don't want its reputation to be harmed. ;-) thanks and bye...

...terms of CPU and memory usage: from 0.8 - 2 % CPU time and about 4MB of resident memory. I even "renice -10" it at the suggestion of someone else on this list. Lame (or another encoder) will be by far the biggest CPU consumer. One of the downsides of FreeBSD is that Fraunhofer's l3enc and mp3enc encoders are not supported on it (although you could probably run the Linux binary in compatibility mode). So lame is really your only choice for an encoder, as far as I can tell. Which isn't bad--the quality sounds as good to my ear at the low bitrates we use (and often better...

I used to use the shoutcast plugin on windows but, like you, Unix is my friend. I tried to use LiveIce, but the _exit/exit problem prevented initi...

OGG size is comparable to MP3 size (will this improve?), OGG encode speed is comparable to l3enc and will most likely improve with time (after all lame wasn't developed in 24 hours). But the playback CPU usage is what is not 'nice'. There I think is a problem as ogg123 needs 3x more CPU power to decode than mpg123. But I hope this will also change with further development.

...mples, because doing the tests was rather slow given the equipment and hardly pleasant. Each time I ABX'ed the decoded mp3 versus the decoded mp3->encoded ogg->decoded ogg. I was effectively listening to the transcoding artifacts only. First sample, part of remix of 'Stardust', l3enc(FhG) at 128kbps original, only drum/bass with some effects, resulting ogg was 125kbps (very easy, mp3 is probably transparent already) I could not reliably hear any differences between the mp3 and the transcoded ogg. (I could when I turned off the airconditioning) Second sample, part of 'Fir...

Hello everyone, I am very tempted to try and use icecast as the weapon of choice to realize a live audio stream for the radio station I work for. Now, the last time I tried the FreeBSD port of Icecast, it immediately consumed something like 95% CPU time, even without any client connected. I think someone else reported that problem, but I somehow lost track of the issue - has this been
