Hi all, I'm looking to migrate from Shoutcast to Icecast. Our current configuration is such that we have a low bitrate encoding on port 8000, and a high bitrate encoding on 889. I've been looking through the documentation but haven't found a good way to make this happen in Icecast. We're using Darkice to stream to the server, and that does the different enodings fine, but

Or do I have to run separate Icecast instances? You can run your two streams on one icecast, configuring them as (for example) /lowbitrate and /highbitrate in your source client. Then you can configure port-specific aliases for these, so you have "/ on port 8000" --> "/lowbitrate" and "/ on port 889" --> "/highbitrate". >From the point of view of the source clients, they can use either...

Various stuff I've read on xiph.org seems to indicate that ogg/vorbis was born out of a desire for a 'free-speech' lowbitrate streaming/compression format, not for '~0-artifact digital jukeboxes'. Is this one of the goals for 1.0? When can I completely throw out mp3 and put my cds in a timecapsule? --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To un...

Hi all, I have a question about the relationship between the "queue-size" and the "burst-size" <limits> parameters. Q: When a client connects is the burst-size immediately added to the queue-size? If this is the case then the slack for a 16kpbs client goes down from 50 sec (102400[queue-size] / 16kbps = 50 sec) to 18 seconds ( (102400 - 65536[burst-size]) / 16kpbs =
