[Icecast] New User Installation: Questions about live streaming

[Flash Love]

My short term goal, is to stream mp3 and add input from the mic (my voice) 
into the stream. Long term goal, internet radio with music, talk, and request 
on demand.

I downloaded, compiled, and configured ices-0.4.tar using ices.conf.dist (mp3 
files are streaming and clients [winamp, win media] connect OK). In 
the /download/ices-0.4/conf directory there are four files: ices.conf.dist, 
ices.conf.dist.in, ices.pm.dist, and ices.py.dist. 

I have used aumix to ensure that the mic is set to "R" and verified the 
settings for Line-in, PCM, and I-Gain. Then, I modified the ices.conf.dist 
file to use the example configuration. 

When using "<ices:Configuration 
xmlns:ices="http://www.icecast.org/projects/ices">", ices complain:
Unknown Node: background
Unknown Node: logpath
Unknown Node: logfile
Unknown Node: logsize
Unknown Node: loglevel
Unknown Node: consolelog
Unknown Node: stream
 
When using "<ices>, ices complaint:
XML Parser: Document of invalid type, no ices namespace found
Logfile opened
Could not find a valid playlist file.
Ices Exiting...

The only changes are on lines 2 and last line in the config file. Is 
ices-0.4.tar.gz the latest?
