It's just like the old edcast you know and love, only a bit leaner and supporting of streaming 24bit flac from jack!
If your going to stream oggflac, look out!
With my fixes, I reccomend mplayer as the client, with a small buffer..
mplayer -cache 500 http://xxxxxxxxxx
VLC also works however it can eventually run into some kind of buffer/stutter issue
Please be advised of this: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac-dev/2010-December/002825.html
And then go here: https://github.com/oneman/libflac/commit/67e13364032404ebc1837af143fdd1cd81786c3a
24 bit flac support -b 24 on the command line
features to come: correct flushing of ogg packets to prevent buildup of silence in pages
Currently this is hackfixed and handled by flushing every packet, probably sending way to many out over the network. this should be fixed by counting samples and flushing after X number of samples
minor changes: correct printing of server port number, removal of deprecated jack_new call
windows support, resampling support, metadata support
windows? are you kidding me? did it even work ever?
resampling? Did you not have jack set at the sample rate you really wanted?
metadata? OggFLAC doesn't support any in the case of streams in anything Ive seen Most software doesn't support chained ogg ie. firefox/chrome/cortado if you want metadata, use a different program to talk to icecast2 that makes the most sense, if you think about it for a moment.. (also it never worked well anyway)
