NAME
darkice - an icecast / shoutcast live audio streamer

SYNOPSIS
darkice [options] -c config.file

DESCRIPTION

DarkIce is an IceCast , IceCast2 and ShoutCast live audio streamer. It takes audio input from a sound card, encodes it into mp3 and/or Ogg Vorbis, and sends the mp3 stream to one or more IceCast and/or ShoutCast servers, the Ogg Vorbis stream to one or more IceCast2 servers. DarkIce uses POSIX real-time scheduling to keep up with sound card input. POSIX real-time scheduling is only available if the program is run as root. Therefore it is recommended that DarkIce is run as root. DarkIce uses the Lame mp3 encoder as a library to encode audio intput to mp3, and uses the Ogg Vorbis library to encode into Ogg Vorbis.
