Re: icecast server

[Geoff Shang <Geoff QuiteLikely com>]

Hi,

As you may or may not have figured out, Icecast is just a server.  It 
allows streams to be sent to it and resends these streams to listeners when 
they connect.

there's several programs for sending streams to Icecast.  I personally use 
Darkice (http://darkice.sourceforge.net) to do streaming, but there's a 
range of choices.  Darkice merely monitors the soundcard, so you will need 
to get whatever audio you want to stream to appear on your soundcard. This 
may be as simple as setting a few mixer settings if your soundcard allows 
this, right through to getting a fully blown audio setup.  It's all a 
matter of how complicated you want to make it.

Geoff.
