Just to second that we struggled for years with Darkice over the internet
(although it may have improved).
I run jack in screen like this on bootup:
screen -S SESSIONNAME -dm jackd -R -d alsa -C hw:0,0 -r 44100
Script for liquidsoap here (Wayne's I believe) which will connect to jack and
output to icecast

Instructions for an Ubuntu build from source for liquidsoap here:
http://dev.radiopiloten.de/dokuwiki/doku.php/liquidsoap:installation
If you have a GUI then check out Patchage
http://drobilla.net/software/patchage/. You can see where audio is routed to.
Click and drag to make connections.

Subject: Re: [RDD] (OT) I don't know JACK
Yeah I had the same problems with dark ice on Ubuntu 10.04. It also
started crashing on me after about 6 months. Moved to liquidsoap over a
year and a half ago. Current uptime is 6months as we moved buildings
but we were up for about 9months previous to that (had some electrical
issues which made things reboot).
I've also used liquidsoap in a testing capacity to a remote icecast
server (tested from my crap home connection to our work icecast). It
ran for 36 hours without a problem except for when my adsl died at
home. We're doing a live OB in a couple of weeks with soap going back
to our icecast which will then get fed through to a desk fader so we get
our usual broadcast chain.
