<h2>General Questions</h2>

|
<h4>What is Icecast?</h4>
|
|
<div class="indentedbox">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Icecast, the project, is a collection of programs and libraries for
|
|
streaming audio over the Internet. This includes:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>icecast, a program that streams audio data to listeners</li>
|
|
<li>libshout, a library for communicating with Icecast servers</li>
|
|
<li>IceS, a program that sends audio data to Icecast servers</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
A source client is an external program which is responsible for sending content data to icecast. Some source clients that support icecast2 are Oddcast, ices2, ices0.3, and DarkIce.

<h4>What is icecast, the program?</h4>
|
|
<div class="indentedbox">
|
|
<p>
|
|
icecast streams audio to listeners, and is compatible with Nullsoft`s Shoutcast.
|
|
</p>

<h4>What is libshout ?</h4>

From the README:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<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>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<h4>What is IceS?</h4>
|
|
<div class="indentedbox">
|
|
<p>
|
|
IceS is a program that sends audio data to an icecast server to broadcast to clients.
|
|
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.
|

|
<h4>How can I view the stream status page?</h4>
|
|
<div class="indentedbox">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Check your icecast configuration file for an element
|
|
called <webroot>. This directory contains web stuff.
|
|
In it, place a file called "status.xsl" that
|
|
transforms an <acronym>XML</acronym> file containing stream
|
|
data into a web page
|
|
(either <acronym>XHTML</acronym> or <acronym>HTML</acronym>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are sample <acronym>XSL</acronym> stylesheets available
|
|
in icecast/web/ in the CVS distribution
|
|
of icecast.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In addition, the web directory can
|
|
hold multiple status transforms, if you can't decide which
|
|
one you want.
