Dear all, You may be interested by some features in Liquidsoap SVN that need testing.. All those features are relatively new and would need as much testing && feedback as possible in order to release them in the next stable version.
* Flac encoding/decoding: Flac format is now supported, both natively and through ogg's encapsulation for encoding and decoding. Decoding is enabled when compiling with flac support. Encoding can be used with: %flac : native flac support %ogg(%flac), %ogg(%flac, ..) : ogg encapsulation support native flac also works between input.harbor and output.icecast but not for a "real" icecast sources. * AAC+ encoding: AAC+ encoding has been reworked, thanks to the work done upstream on libaacplusenc. It appears to be stable under one specific conditions: * Compiling libaacplus *without* fftw -- this is the case on debian- multimedia. The encoder now supports multiple AAC streams, for instance one output at 32kbits and one at 64kbits. * output.harbor: This recent operator allows liquidsoap to also serve streams to normal listeners, providing icecast's capabilities into liquidsoap. The keypoint is that on_connect/on_disconnect handlers are called for each listener, which allows proper statistics, in particular listening time. There are also many liquidsoap's specific features, such as the possibility to pass a custum authentication function etc.. The operator has been optimized as much as possible but it was not possible to test it with a lot of listeners. Any feedback on this would help to decide whether it is suitable for a front end or it should be used as a backend with icecast up front. Finally, there are no web pages associated with harbor outputs like icecast does. This could be done later and if there are interested contributors, I can describe how to do it.. We also have a UDP output/input operator but I will let David comment on this if he needs testing. The operator is pretty raw so it may not be useful for an average user :) Happy hacking!
