[Icecast] static noise while streaming

[Viktor Pavlenko]

Hi all,

I'm very new to audio streaming, so please excuse my ignorance.

I'm using icecast2 server and muse source client on gentoo linux. Some
mp3 files that I'm streaming exhibit severe static noise, in fact, the
noise is present always but is most noticeable for the records that
are currently playing,

(I'll keep this alive for a while)

I don't know where to start looking for causes of the problem. Is it
muse?.. icecast? Thank you for any hints. If more info is needed, let
me know.

Thanks,
