<p>Excuse me, I understood wrong your question.</p>
<p>I think the difference is that if the server is already connected to the source when a client comes, that client will start to listen sooner than if the server has to connect to the source. I have personally not tested timings, but if you don't mind the bandwidth, I would go for the permanent stream.</p>

Hi,<div><br></div><div>I found there is a possibility to let IceCast relay other, existing streams. But how is it working exactly when no clients are connected to my relay server:</div><div><br></div><div>- is it going to stand-by and not streaming andy data from the source</div>
<div><br></div><div>or</div><div><br></div><div>- is it pulling data from the source all the time also when no client is available that could consume this stream? This would mean the relay would consume traffic and bandwidth also when nobody will use it...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div>
