SVN release 6591 appears to have resolved the issue here. Aacplusenc  
how works.

One bug that I discovered with it on both Linux and FreeBSD was that  
it does not restart correctly using the restart_encoder_delay field.  
With this set to 3600, I got:

2009/05/25 20:39:40 [output(dot)icecast(dot)aacplusenc:3] Restarting  
encoder after delay (3600s)


encoding finished

And it never did restart. I also have these values in my config (as in  
my previous post);

  ~restart=true,
  ~restart_delay=3
  ~restart_on_crash=true,
  ~restart_on_new_track=false,
  ~restart_encoder_delay=3600


With a working restart_encoder_delay will there be any cutouts in the  
audio while the encoder restarts or will liquidsoap just continue to  
store audio in the buffer as it comes in from the soundcard and then  
pump it out to the encoder once it comes back up?

I understand that the hourly restart is due to bugginess with  
aacplusenc. Is this because it's a child process instead of a library?  
Perhaps it would be useful to use libaacplus instead? I know that's  
what the Darkice project is using:
