Had another play with windows encoder and couldn't play it in any logitech kit. Played with the server health stuff - very interesting - not spotted this option before! The network tests all were 100%. The server stats looked good - though the odd item on timer lateness was a bit worrying. There was 2% in the 5 seconds late category. This was done whilst streaming icecast cd player to softsqueeze. However other than the problem with wave input I perceive it as working perfectly so - won't follow it up for now. Final plan. I have configured icecast and edcast to stream via 320k mp3 and that seems to work fine and doesn't impact on normal streaming that I can tell. Just need to install edcast as a service and then I'm there. I have noticed 1 glitch in sound during half an hour of playing. Since I would only use the real CD player for a borrowed CD that hasn't been ripped to the server - I am happy with that. My wife is perfectly happy with the sound from her laptop speakers so she isn't too bothered about quality! Cheers and thanks again for being so patient.
