It is still developed and you are able to do so much more, besides stream transcoding.</p>

>Keep in mind that transcoding degrades the quality of tour stream dramaticly. You can avoid this by feeding liquidsoap or stream transcoder with a highquality or even transparant stream and trancode this to the different streaming formats you like. I used to do this by feeding a flac stream to liquidsoap and transcode this to 5 different stream formats i needed. But you might be fine if you feed your transcoder with 320 kbps AAC and transcoder this to lower formats. Maybe experiment with a high quality ogg stream, this might give you beter results due to the use of a different audio compression mask.
