never heard of it. Also it's dated 13 years in the past.

The only conflict I could think of is that with oggfwd. Which is not
really a problem as libshout now provides a 100% compatible oggfwd
itself.

Maybe you want to tell us a bout about that?

Without knowing your operating system that is a bit of a problem.
Generally speaking the one on our homepage is fine. And there there (at
least) should not be any conflicts to begin with.
