[Icecast-dev] OPUS/FLAC Metadata

[Rick Keniuk]

I see that there is source code for Icecast v2.5 beta2.  Will there be a release of a compiled version for v2.5 beta2 for Windows?  I am excited to test the new OPUS/FLAC metadata support.  The OPUS CODEC has superior sound for a given data rate to MP3 or AAC.

Thanks for your help,
Rick
