[icecast] Difficulties with Ices2

[Matthew Fields]

I have been successful in running a playlist through Ices and Icecast...
I have run into difficulty running a live stream through the soundcard,
however...

The following is the log when I attempt to run ices ices-mylive.xml:

INFO ices-core/main ices started...
EROR input-oss/oss_open_module Couldn't set sample format to AFMT_S16_LE
EROR input/input_loop Couldn't initialise input module "oss"
INFO ices-core/main Shutdown complete

Contents of the ices-mylive.xml:

            <quality>1</quality>
            </encode>
        </instance>
    </stream>
</ices>

The config is pretty simple, a SuSE 8.0 box.  Soundcard is a SB Pro 2
using OSS.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Thanks!
