Perhaps I need a bit of clarification. I have installed darkice, and believe I have it configured correctly. My darkice.cfg:
[general] duration = 0 # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever bufferSecs = 5 # size of internal slip buffer, in seconds reconnect = yes # reconnect to the server(s) if disconnected # this section describes the audio input that will be streamed [input] device = jack # OSS DSP soundcard device for the audio input sampleRate = 44100 # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100 bitsPerSample = 16 # bits per sample. try 16 channel = 2 # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo [icecast2-0] format = vorbis bitrateMode = cbr bitrate = 96 quality = 0.8 server = xxx.xxx.xx.xx # Live365 IP address mountPoint = # Live365 doesn't require a mount pint port = xxxxx # Live365 port password = xxxxxxxx # Live365 account password public = yes As far as I can tell, this configuration is correct. However, when I run darkice, I get this: DarkIce 0.20.1 live audio streamer, http://darkice.tyrell.hu/ Copyright (c) 2000-2007, Tyrell Hungary, http://tyrell.hu/ Using config file: /etc/darkice.cfg Using JACK audio server as input device.

Am I missing a step here? Thanks for the help!
