Romain,
I was testing the cases mentioned before, in Windows 7, but stopped after
founding this: it seems there's no valid input method for microphone in
Windows! :s
So, i tested XP too, and the problem was also there: no mic, and no errors. I
was wrong when i said it was working on XP.
In the LS API Doc page (http://liquidsoap.fm/doc-1.0.1/reference.html), i can
read this for the "in()" function:
Create a source from the first available input driver in pulseaudio, portaudio,
oss, alsa, blank.
So, i tested every input method in that order: pulseaudio, portaudio, oss, and
alsa. The last ones obviously aren't available in Windows. But input.pulseaudio
and input.portaudio also returned a "not defined" error.
Given that i get no error, AND no sound, when i use "in()" in Windows, i guess
it's because it's falling back to "input.blank". That would explain the
symptoms.
But then i found strange that, even when i got no input for mic (LS works fine
with playlists and input.http), i got output (as i was using
"output.prefered"). So i tested wich outputs i got available.
Output.portaudio is not there: it returns "not defined". What i DO have in
Windows for output is output.ao.
That said, everything points that my problem is that LS does not include, in
its Windows release, any library for mic input. :(
Would you please check this out Romain? I mean, if portaudio or any other audio
input library for mic is present in the build.
You think is there an easy fix, like putting a portaudio DLL on LS directory,
or something like that?
Unfortunately, most of the users in my project are Windows people; and this is
for live radio over internet, so they need the mic. =/
Please let me know if there's anything i can do to make it work.
Thanks,
Daniel.

That should already be a lot. Feel free to play around with whichever
options you can tweak as well!
Thanks!
