Hello, how good is the quality with very low bitrates like 16kbps mono. 16 kbps files compressed with lame sound awful, realaudio is much better. Will vorbis sound as good as realaudio with low bitrates? How fast is vorbis (in comparison to lame).

...people's 56k modems don't work at a full 56k, and I want them to be able to surf CD Baby at the same time as listening. 2 minutes / 120 seconds of audio should be about 400k.) I'm at my wit's end: tried everything I know with the Ogg encoder, and still sounds like shit compared to RealAudio G2, unless I get the filesize twice as big. There must be some way Ogg can sound almost as good as RealAudio for lo-fi, right? I'm DYING to ditch RealAudio from our site! Hell if Ogg can sound that good on a 33.6k modem, I'll go be an Ogg evangelist to 30,000 musicians and 200,000 cust...

...#39;ll keep going through them to see if something clicks, but meanwhile I was hoping someone might point me in the direction that I should focus my efforts. The server at our church is running Gentoo Linux and has ~500Kbps up/down SDSL connection to the world. We offer online sermons both for RealAudio streaming (16Kbps per stream) and downloading via HTTP. The problem is that someone with a fast pipe of their own (DSL/cable/etc.) can download 1 or more sermons and slurp up all the bandwidth, reducing the RealAudio streams to a trickle and causing lots of "rebuffering" for anyone t...

Hi ! I have a single host which is connected via an 512kbit ADSL link to the n= et. I quite often use some realaudio application that uses some bandwidth = and I want to avoid other traffic to scale that bandwidth down. So I used = some classes (with htb) on imq0 device and applied some filters and it see= ms to work in most cases. However, there are some sites with which downloa= d is interrupted if bandwidth is...

The only thing I could imagine working is when you have a tool that could grab a realaudio-stream from the Helix server and unpack it to plain PCM wav data. This you can feed into ices, afaik, and let it re-encode to mp3. If you don't yet have such a tool it might be a bit of "homework" to do using the existing realaudio-libs shipped with Helix. How difficult is buildi...

In testing, I have found that both MP3 and RealAudio 3(!) are much better sounding at bitrates from 8 to 40-something kbps than Ogg Vorbis. This definatly needs drastic improvents and I know that 1.1 will be focusing on improvements in those areas but that seems pretty far off(a few months minimum) which leaves low-bitrate streams sounding pret...

The last few threads have really been interesting. Technologies that are currently on the market are MP3, RealAudio, and Windows Media (pre-version8). Technologies currently in progress or just shipped are Ogg Vorbis and mp3pro. I don't think anyone has mentioned TwinVQ on this list. While exploring alternatives to MP3 (which is when I also found Vorbis), I noticed TwinVQ. I encoded a few tracks wit...

The files had individually anonymous names, except one addional file as referenze. The usere had to register with their Email and got individuell set of testfiles.

I currently utilize Icecast on my website, but I am looking for the same kind of functionality as I get with realaudio server when I stream static content - namely, the ability to seek, show the time remaining, etc, especially with Vorbis audio. I realize the intent of Icecast is to serve mainly live, streaming content (or at least radio-style content), but I utilize it mostly for streaming static files alread...

Well more specifically I want to transcode a realaudio stream into mp3 on the same machine and on the command line only - reliably! Following up, I managed to compile the trplayer using a substitute __pure_virtual function compiled with extern "C" (without it the function name was being mangled by g++) by now trplayer runs and exits without...

...n''t generate any replies, so I thought I''d try posting what I''ve done trying to solve my own problem, in hopes that someone will take pity and show me if/where I''m going wrong. Just to recap, I''m trying to accomplish this on my server, which streams RealAudio files and allows HTTP downloads of large files. 1) SSH connections (port 22) (i.e. me connecting remotely) should get all the bandwidth they can consume (highest priority). 2) RealAudio streaming clients (port 554) should get all the bandwidth left after #1 that they can consume. 3) Web downlo...

Hello all, I am a little new to Linux so I would appreciate some assistance with this issue. I have been running a Helix server streaming RealAudio encoded content live and on-demand for a while. For the live stream, I use the Real equivalent to Ices which on the Helix platform is called SLTA. All the content on the server is encoded as RealAudio. I have also successfully setup an Icecast2 server with Ices0.3 streaming some test mp3s on a l...

In the notes for 2.3.0 it says that IceCast can function as a RealAudio/Helix server. Does this mean that it does the quality negotiation as well, ratcheting the bitrate up and down if it needs to? Or am I reading this all wrong? Thanks. -- //// Jason M. SULLIVAN jsullivan@nc.rr.com |c-oo http://www.jason0x21.org \_- "T...

I'm trying to convice a webmaster to start offering Vorbis in addition to his current RealAudio 3(GAH!) web streams.

I have a Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.11) server. Several months ago, I made a traffic shaping setup for my box (running a 2.4 kernel then) that worked beautifully. It gave high priority to SSH and RealAudio traffic, and put HTTP downloading traffic on a lower prio so they could only use what bandwidth was left. However, I''ve only just realized that tc is no longer accepting the commands I setup in a script to start it. I don''t know when it stopped working. I can post the tcng scri...

If Icecast were to implement this, then Realaudio server would have very little in terms of most usage over Icecast. It would easily allow a large library of audio to be accessible, but not downloadable, for many people, with no sideeffects or problems. For example, it is difficult and not always reliable to seek in a Vorbis stream when usin...

...-improved low-bitrate quality. Wondering - true? Details? ETA? At CD Baby all lo-fi soundclips are still in the SFERA format*. At 20k bitrates, they sound GREAT which is why I stick with it, but I'd much rather switch them ALL over to OGG if there was a way to make 20k-30k sound as good as RealAudio G2 does at that bitrate. Go listen to the 20k birate clips at CD Baby. (http://www.cdbaby.com/new <--- good starting point.) Let me know if some beta/CVS versions of OGG encoders can make 20k sound that good yet? I'd love to do the switch, and help promote ogg files to the world. (We...
