[Icecast-dev] libshout: Streaming MPEG Audio Layer 2

[Nicholas J Humfrey]

Hi,

I have been trying to stream MPEG Audio Layer 2 using libshout in my  
dvbshout program:
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njh/dvbshout/


However I have been using the shout_send_raw() API call because the  
MPEG audio header parser rejects audio that isn't Layer 3. Streaming  
layer 2 works in exactly the same way as Layer 3 and without any  
problems.

Would it be possible to get src/mp3.c changed so that it accepts  
other layers?


 From (line 299):

	/* check for the right layer */
	if (mh->layer != 2)
		return 0;

To:

         /* check that layer is valid */
          if (mh->layer == 0)
                  return 0;
