I've had success with nSlam: http://tot.sat.qc.ca/down_nslam.html
There is, in fact, in the package, a prepackaged example of streaming application. I have not streamed 24/7 but for about 4 hours without a problem. I used to run many different patches 24/7 (in different contexts) without pd crashing so I would expect it to work longterm as well. Let us know how it works out for you, please. ./MiS On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 12:05 AM, PSPunch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > Is there anyone using Pd for doing intense file streaming towards an > Shoutcast/Icecast server? > I am interesting in hearing impressions, discovered drawbacks, etc.. > > > ** Some background ** > > Being in need to prepare a machine running an Icecast source client > 24/7, I've been shopping around the last few days. > > > All existing applications I've tried are either, > > - Play list oriented (as seen in many, many Internet radio solutions) > > They are designed to randomly select songs from a huge database > containing millions of files.
