<div>I am relatively new to icecast and have a question about a unique configuration. I would like to know if anyone has experience 'sinking' multiple source clients (ices2.0.x) into a single icecast streaming server? I would like to source content from a large
number of streaming clients (dozens or maybe even hundreds), <span>composite <span id="GD__CURSOR">
</span></span>them into a single stream (essentially like an audio mixing board) and then have the streaming server serve up this new composite content to only a few listeners.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is somewhat the reverse of a traditional streaming server configuration (a single or very small number of source clients into the streaming server and numerous listening clients). Here is what I have in mind:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Many ---> |-------------| <br>
</div>
<div><span> source ---><span id="GD__CURSOR"> | Streaming |--------> small number of listener clients<br>
</span></span></div>
<div><span> clients : <span id="GD__CURSOR">| <span><span><span id="GD__CURSOR">server </span></span></span> |<br>
</span></span></div>
<div><span> : |<span id="GD__CURSOR"> |<br>
</span></span></div>
<div><span> ---><span id="GD__CURSOR"> </span></span>|-------------|</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can this be done with icecast as implemented? If not and code modifications are necessary, what modules might one need to modify? Ideally, I would also like to apply a variable gain to each source client's channel independently before the composite process.
Any help would be most appreciated.</div>
