You might want to double-check if pulse-audio is installed. If yes, consider removing it. Aside from that you might want to monitor CPU usage using e.g. 'top'. This could be also related to how in-kernel support of your sound-card has changed. Hope that helps.

Pulse-audio is not installed. I did not know about "top". I've run "top" on the Pentium III and it seems that the CPU usage is very high: Cpu (s): 94.4% us. I do not know if there will be a solution or if I should desist from using this Pentium III. zenbaki El s?b, 01-09-2012 a las 22:37 +0300, R?cker Thomas escribi?: > Hi, > > On 29/08/12 15:32, Jos?

We have some image snapshots that arrive regularly but with a very low frequency and we would like to be observe these images a video stream. The conversion to video is easy, ffmpeg can create a Theora ogg stream from the static pictures and I already got it working. The problem is that I cannot go below 4 fps. The images arrive with less frequency than 4 image / second so I would like to decrease the frame rate. If I just generate a video, I can open it on VLC but it only works through Icecast if the frame rate is at least 4. As a result, the system is quite CPU-intensive, while it could work more effectively with much less fps, even 0.25 or around. Has anyone experienced such a problem? Is there any easy solution? Or is it some kind of internal limitation of Icecast?

Or is it some kind of internal limitation of Icecast? Could you shed some more light on what the actual problem is? Icecast's behaviour, logs at debug level. Client software behaviour, etc. Without that it's really hard to even guess what is going wrong...

In Icecast, I see this mount point on the status page as if everyting were going fine, it even detects the resolution and the 2.00 FPS. The only thing I see in the log file is: gabor at io:~$ tail /var/log/icecast2/error.log [2012-09-10 10:42:27] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:29] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:31] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:32] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:33] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:35] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:36] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:37] INFO source/source_main listener count on /full512.ogg now 1 [2012-09-10 10:42:38] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header [2012-09-10 10:42:39] INFO format-theora/initial_theora_page seen initial theora header The streamed video is created with ffmpeg and sent to icecast with oggfwd. When I open this stream from the icecast status page with VLC, it seems it is buffering but actually it will never start. If I increase the FPS it just starts working or if instead of streaming, I write the same low-FPS video into a file and I download it, VLC can play it without problems.
