[Icecast] Live streaming from Mac OS X

[Dwipal Desai]

I am trying to stream live audio from a Mac OS X ibook to a linux  
machine running mplayer2 using instructions
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php? 
story=20020704134818926&query=live+itunes+streaming

I managed to compile everything (Icecast 2.2.0, libshout2, etc).
To compile icecast, i had to use "fakepoll.h" header file from  
sealiesoftware.com/fakepoll.h to get around with the poll.h errors on  
Mac OS X.

The command i am using to send stream to icecast server is:
esdrec | lame -b 128 - - | ./example
(Am example.c as it reads from stdin.)

The icecast server starts fine, libshout example file connects to the  
server, but it seems that the server is dropping the stream somewhere.  
I am basically not able to play the stream.

Dumping the output of lame to a file and playing it back again is  
working, so there is something with icecast.

Any suggestions on how to fix this ?

Below is the icecast error_log file:
