darkice − an icecast / shoutcast live audio streamer
darkice [options] -c config.file
DarkIce as a live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio interface (e.g. sound card), encodes it and sends it to a streaming server. DarkIce can record from:
* OSS audio devices
* ALSA audio devices
* Solaris audio interface
* Jack sources
* PulseAudio sources
DarkIce can encode in the following formats:
* mp3 - using the lame library
* mp2 - using the twolame library
* Ogg Vorbis
* Ogg Opus
* AAC - using the faac library
* AAC HEv2 - using the libaacplus (3GPP reference code)
DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers:
* ShoutCast
* IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x
* Darwin Streaming Server
Darkice runs on the following operating systems:
* FreeBSD
* Linux on intel and PowerPC
* MacOS X
* NetBSD / OpenBSD
* SUN Solaris
DarkIce uses POSIX real-time scheduling to keep up with sound card input. POSIX real-time scheduling is only available if the program is run as root. Therefore it is recommended that DarkIce is run as root.
