it was fixed a long time ago actually. The current YP is now benefitting from the changes made by me (with help from Karl), and yet despite the requests from both Karl and I recommending that these streams be allowed again, it falls on deaf ears. Ultimately it's up to Xiph to decide, although I was hoping that when the objection "it performs badly so we turned off all non-vorbis streams" was made, and the "performs badly" part was fixed, that the decision would be made to return non-vorbis streams. Instead, I've gotten nothing but silence regarding the matter.
<br><br>I guess what it boils down to is a fundamental concept of what Icecast is. To me, it's a simple, free, and open source alternative to other non-free, free but restrictred, etc streaming media servers. Others believe, I think, that it is really just a mechanism to boost the adoption of all the xiph codecs. This was evident from the very beginning when Jack Moffit added support for mp3 back into icecast2 as a "transition path to vorbis" for broadcasters. I certainly do understand their points on the matter, however, I do not share them.
