[icecast-dev] Metadata not updating with oss input module in ices2

[Ben Middleton]

Hello.

I am running an up-to-date cvs snapshot (10 Aug 03) of ices2, and I
cannot get the Metadata update from file to work (indeed this has always
been true on all previous versions of ices2 that I have used).

If I send the ices process a SIGUSR1, then the error log shows that the
update is taking place, but immediately followed by a read error from
the OSS input module, causing ices to die.

I am running ices on a Solaris 8 for x86 machine with OSS sound driver.

Any ideas on how to get this metadata update to work? I am guessing that
the usr1 signal handler is interrupting the oss input stream somehow.

The error log is shown below:
