...and WinAmp) > varies between 49 and 59. Currently min and max are ignored by the library, since bounded bitrates aren't going in until rc3. Also, if you pick 96kbps, that picks the 96kbps mode (if there is a 96kbps mode. It might be picking the 80kbps mode. You'll have to look at the vorbisml to figure out which mode that's actually using). In any case, unlike mp3, which must be at a fixed bitrate, Vorbis won't use more bits than it needs. So often you'll get streams that are less or more than what you picked. That's the nature of VBR. It tries to keep the average at...

Hi, I'm experimenting with IceCast2, using DarkIce to generate the stream. I have found some peculiarities with the vorbis bitrates. In DarkIce, I call vorbis_encode_init() with about the following values: vorbis_encode_init( &vorbisInfo, 2, 44100, 96, 96, 96); which by all reasons should generate a 96 kb/s stream, as all max_bitrate, nominal_bitrate and min_bitrate are set to 96.
