At these bitrates, stereo is luxury you cannot afford. I think most listeners would not even notice they were listening to mono

Most connections are around 48k I believe. Ross. --- >8 ---- List archives:

hello all! After having read http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/listen.html and listened to the examples on that very educational page, I decided to augment the info. This example is more simple, it involves the comparision between two streams of the same radio station, FranceInter (a station of Radio France in Paris). The ogg stream is running at around 30 kbps/11 kHz in stereo. The WMA stream

Hi there. http://www.radiofrance.fr/services/aide/difflive.php#ogg Looks like radio france has started its ogg stream ! Thanks to them.

I've not had a reply on the OddSock forum so I'll try here. I am attempting to use the OddCastDSP Winamp2 plugin via the (free) SQRSoft Advanced Crossfading output plugin (http://www.sqrsoft.com.ar/en/plugins.html). This is necessary to provide intelligent crossfading which sounds very professional. I've not heard of any other crossfading algorithm that works so well. It uses the

Further to this problem. It only occurs ar 22050 mono. 22050 stereo and 44100 mono works.

hello, I like your point here .. it's difficult to make such a comparision, since yacast.fr choosed to stream like that. Why did they choose to stream like that? That's beyond me, since Radio France has a budjet of millions. The point of this comparision was to show why is Radio France doing and paying for something like this? Me, with cheap computers which were had no more value (well,

Hi Oddsock Thank you for your detailed reply. > these are all very valid points, but consider the following. > I, and I suspect some others as well, write open source > software to provide people free (or otherwise cheap) options > to problems that are traditionally solved by proprietary or > non-open software.......

I think this may be an oddcast issue but I'm not sure. I've been streaming for a few days now and I've noticed when listening to the stream that at the change of every song the stream skips ahead slightly. It appears to occur when the metadata for the song title etc is being sent. For me this is a few seconds before the actual change of track since I'm using the SQRSoft

oddsock wrote: > this may be an effect of using the SQRSoft crossfader...try disabling it > and see if you get the same effect... It is difficult to test this because the metadata is sent when each track is silent so there is no audible skipping while no sound is present. I had almost resigned to blaming the crossfader when it happened again (without the crossfader). I have a very short

Can someone who really knows the Ogg command-line encoder, help recommend the best setting for 33.6k modem stereo music streaming? (56k doesn't count cuz many 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

Hey Oddsock I couldn't find your email address so sorry for posting to the list. I know we've had a similar discussion in the past but I'm hoping something can be arranged to solve this problem. I've just tried your new OddCastv2 (for Winamp2) with the SQRSoft crossfader hoping that the old problem had been overcome, however, it is much worse. Winamp simply exits without any

hello, I got icecast2 and ices2 going on an old Pen 100 box. It's streaming a lecture given by Richard Stallman at the University of Aberystwyth in June 2002. The files are found on http://www.6809.org.uk/audio/ I had put the sample rate down to 24000, as the Pen 100 seem not to be able to handle anything about that. According ps aux, ices is taking 91 percent cpu. The box is working just

Is stereo vs. mono, and 22khz vs. 11khz even a fair comparison? 22khz vs. 11khz: 22khz, by definition, gives the 22khz stream much more frequency range and *opportunity* to sound clearer.

We want to setup multiple streams using multiple copies of Winamp/SQRSoft crossfader/OddCast. We are guessing that somewhere between 16 and 24 streams may be supported on one dual-processor PC. However, rather than sending the output of all the streams to a soundcard (which may cause problems?), I thought it should be possible to send the output to a dummy soundcard driver. I was sure one

FYI, I've added a crossfader to the ices0 trunk in subversion: http://svn.xiph.org/icecast/trunk/ices0 It requires LAME support (of course). To use it, either pass -C <secs> on the command line, or add a <Crossfade>secs</Crossfade> node to the Playlist section of the config file. Reencoding must also be enabled on your stream. NOTE: the crossfader can't resample, so all
