[icecast] noobie questions

[sonnik at cox.net]

Just a note:  This is similar to the problems I am (still) having.  I too am using Redhat9 (Icecast2 and Ices2).  

I've used Winamp2 (Zinf tells me the data is corrupted), but instead of the high-pitched noise you describe - I get dead silence.  Of course, everything leads me to believe that the connection is healthy and the stream is working.

There's a <savefile>/home/user/output.ogg</savefile> option for ices2.xml configuration - maybe you can verify that ices2 is encoding properly.  In my case, Ices2 is encoding properly when I listen to the savefile dump, but I get the "dead air" pseudo-stream when I try to connect to Icecast.
