[Icecast] ffmpeg2theora icecast ubuntu edgy

[Vincent]

Hi,

I've had the same problem. However, I chose not to downgrade my package, 
but rather to recompile it from source. The reason seems to be that 
Debian dropped support for Theora (as j at v2v.cc noted) in libshout too. 
I'm not quite sure actually, since ldd on any libshout-linked packages 
indicates "libtheora.so.0", but anyway something's messed up with Theora 
support.

I recompiled libshout and did an equivs packages (see 
http://bonjourlesmouettes.org/index.php/2006/12/28/337-streaming-theora-sur-ubuntu-erreur-libshout 
for explanations - in french, sorry).

Something I don't exactly understand is why the Ubuntu libshout3 package 
is more recent (2.2.2-1) than the Debian one (2.1-3), although the 
Ubuntu one seems to be maintained by the same Debian guy (Jonas 
Smedegaard)...

Vincent Tabard
