[Icecast-dev] Ices2 and libshout FLAC support?

[kastein at WPI.EDU]

Are there any plans to support flac streams with ices (and therefore with
libshout as a dependency) currently?

If there aren't, anyone have pointers as to where I should start changing
things to add it?  I've read one of oddsock's mailing list postings
mentioning that some format-specific timing issues would need to be
resolved as well as some other hangups, but I'm still a bit confused about
where I would start.  I've also read/skimmed the Icecast2 source (except
for the files in the threading subdirectory) and it looks like it'll
handle OggFLAC streams just as well as Ogg Vorbis to me.

I also note that Stan Seibert added OggFLAC stream support to ogg123 in
http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2003-April/000491.html and
there was a bit of discussion in June 2003 (and speex support discussion
in December 2004 plus
http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2005-November/001503.html ) -
was any headway made?
