[vorbis-dev] streaming and VBR

[Olaf Matthes]

Hi list,

I have a very anoying problem when streaming ogg vorbis: due to the
variable bitrate encoding data rates sometimes drop to a very low value
when there is no audio input signal. After a while the server (Icecast2)
just drops my stream because no new ogg pages arrive.

For streaming I use a software that I have written but I can't find a
way to tell it to never drop data rate below a given value. In the
encoder example various ways of specifying data rates are shown, but
none of them seem to help.

Is there a way to tell vorbis not go below X bps? Or to do 'real' CBR?
BTW, I'm on Windows, using VC++ in case this matters.

thanks,
Olaf
