<h4 id="what-is-icecastorg">What is Icecast.org?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Icecast.org, the project, is a collection of programs and libraries for streaming audio over the Internet. This includes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Icecast, a program that streams audio data to listeners
|
|
|
|
|
|
* libshout, a library for communicating with Icecast servers
|
|
|
|
|
|
* IceS, a program that sends audio data to Icecast servers</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A source client is an external program which is responsible for sending content data to Icecast. Some source clients that
|
|
|
|
|
|
support Icecast 2 are Oddcast, Ices 2, Ices 0.3, and DarkIce.</p>

<h4 id="what-is-icecast-the-program">What is Icecast, the program?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Icecast streams audio to listeners, and is compatible with Nullsoft’s Shoutcast.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="what-is-libshout">What is libshout?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>libshout is a library for communicating with and sending data to an Icecast server. It handles the socket connection,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the timing of the data, and prevents bad data from getting to the Icecast server.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="what-is-ices">What is Ices?</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Ices is a program (source client) that sends audio data to an Icecast server to broadcast to clients.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ices can either read audio data from disk, such as from Ogg Vorbis files, or sample live audio from a sound card and encode
|
|
|
|
|
|
it on the fly.</p>
