Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg
|
|
|
|
|
Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet
|
|
|
|
|
radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in
|
|
|
|
|
between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added
|
|
|
|
|
relatively easily and supports open standards for commuincation and
|
|
|
|
|
interaction.
