no, I meant 2 <instance> sections, like you have below

The problem here is what's provided as input, if it's 44100hz/2 channel
then you need use <resample> and <downmix> in the first instance and
just <downmix> for the second, match the input with the output.

One assumption with cvs ices2 currently is that the input stays the
same, my modified set does allow for changes, they just haven't been
merged as it's not that common.

Thats saying that the connection to icecast couldn't even be made
(ignore the success message), you'll have to check against the icecast
log but it could be password mismatch or max source limit.

it's seen the - in the playlist.

these would indicate that <resample> and <downmix> tags have been added.

I can check this config against my setup to confirm but on initial
glance your config is trying to send out 2 streams at different
samplerates from a single source without resampling.  Check also why the
icecast connection failed.
