Topic: Icecast output and input?

(feature suggested to be implemented in far future)
Icecast is streaming media server, many internet radios are running it.
Key concept: pack audio stream in OggFLAC(and ogg or mp3 for slower channels), send to icecast and on other side receive it and play - this gives ability to share listening sessions
Problems: stream to server must not be interrupted, even if player is stopped (send zeroes...), and lot of coding in general...

Re: Icecast output and input?

Icecast input should mostly work, though Cog doesn't currently support OggFlac. But I have never heard of lossless internet radio. Output will have to wait until I actually write output plugin support. Come to think of it, perhaps it would work better as an effects plugin, which also do not yet exist.
