Comment (by toots):
Hi !
I purposedly gave only few indications. So far, this is a work in progress
for which I don't want to give support.
I am more seeking for early testers.
The text above is not accurate. I wanted to say that I sucessfully tested
it initially with aacencplus. However, at the moment of writing this text,
it was only working with faac.
Now, I will try to explain the meaning of this support. There are two
things. First, is the support of any kind of stream in libshout, which
needs the set of patches for shout, ocaml-shout and liquidsoap. These
patches add support for arbitrary mime types for source connections.
Secondly, there is support for AAC, AAC+ or else. As samuel explained in
the previous comment, we don't support natively AAC output through icecast
in liquidsoap. In order to acheive this, we use the new generic
{{{ouput.icecast.external}}}. This operator uses an external program as
the audio encoder.
Hence, the second part can be adapted to shoutcast (via
{{{protocol=icy}}}) or AAC+, using aacencplus.
But, again, this support is experimental only for now. We are looking for
early testers, not production use.
If you want to use it, you should setup an experimental environment and be
prepared for digging into issues, and NOT put it in production before you
have tested it. In this case, please report issues so that we can fix
things :)
