[Vorbis] Streaming vorbis support

[Oscar Sundbom]

Hi!

I'm setting up a streaming audio server for the student radio here in 
Stockholm.
I'm of course going to primarily use Ogg/Vorbis, but I'd like to know 
how well
Ogg/Vorbis streaming is supported on different platforms. I know it works
well Windows (for example w/ recent Winamps) and Unices (XMMS, ogg123 etc.)
but I'm not so sure about other platforms, most importantly Mac-OS X.

I need to know this mainly so I can decide on whether to support mp3 as 
well,
or if I can go Vorbis all the way. I'm deciding between using ices and 
darkice
for source - will be using icecast2. Ices seems generally cleaner and 
supports
some stuff I'll probably need (stereo->mono conversion for vorbis 
output), and
some that might be wanted (some nifty meta data handling), but only 
supports vorbis.
Darkice supports both Vorbis and MP3 (as well as some other formats) but 
doesn't
do stereo->mono conversion for Vorbis, and needs to be tweaked a bit to 
support
aoTuV quality -2, which makes maintanance/upgrading needlessly bothersome.

Any help on the issue is greatly appreciated. Other comments are also 
welcome.

Regards
Oscar
