Forgot to add, never had much luck with dark ice + icecast. Liquidsoap + icecast is rock solid and can do all sorts of fancy stuff including silence detect and compression so might be the tool you're looking for.

JACK is quite simple.

You need to kill off pulse audio first.

sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf

find the line: ;autospawn = yes
change it to: autospawn = no (note the removal of ;)

Now kill pulse: pulseaudio -k

Next up, install qjackctl (sudo apt-get install qjackctl). Also known as the JACK Connection Kit.

Load that up, click on setup and pay attention to the sample rate and the interface settings. You might have to change it to hw:0 or hw:1 especially if you're using a USB card or have an inbuilt sound card and a pro one.

Once you're happy with that.  Press OK, then click Start.

If you've got the settings right JACK will say Started and everything is happy. If not try a different hw:0 etc. (you can find these out with aplay -l).

From there start playing some sound. VLC will use jack if you install it with the jack plugins (I think its vlc-jack-plugin or vlc-plugin-jack). Just go into VLCs preferences and select JACK output.

When you hit play VLC will auto create ports and connect as necessary. (Audacity also does something similar if you prefer to test on that).

If JACK is starting but you're still not getting any sound, check alsamixer to make sure your in/outputs aren't muted.

Obviously make sure you've got something that makes sound connected to system:playback_1 & 2 (usually your main speaker out).

Is there a guide anywhere to getting JACK up and running? I've tried to get it working on two different machines, and find that I can't get sound from the sound card input to go anywhere, nor sound from any piece of software to show up at the output of the sound card.

In my latest attempt to record something into Ardour, I managed to lock up my computer, and now it locks up every time Ardour starts.

Eventually, I'd like to find a program that can do audio compression to run with Darkice and icecast on a streaming encoder instead of installing something like a Compellor in front of it.
