[icecast] xmms and icecast

[Michael Rommel]

Hi there,

I've setup ices and icecast2 from cvs and I am using 

  esdmon |ices /etc/icecast/ices-live.xml

which has proved to be a good solutions, because:

 - I have encoded my CDs at -q 8 
 - I wanted to stream at 64-96kbps
 - Using ices-playlist with an <encode> section spat out
   annoying debugging messages about too many samples :-)
 - this way I can mix in the Line-Input of the soundcard
 - it uses *a lot less* cpu power than ices-playlist, typically
   50%

Which I am stuck with is:

  How can I fade between two .ogg songs played by
  "i-don't-care-which" utility to the esd...

Have fun,

  Michael.
