NAME¶
darkice - an icecast / shoutcast live audio streamerSYNOPSIS¶
darkice [options] -c config.fileDESCRIPTION¶
DarkIce as a live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio interface (e.g. sound card), encodes it and sends it to a streaming server. DarkIce can record from:* OSS audio devices * ALSA audio devices * Solaris audio interface * Jack sources * PulseAudio sources
DarkIce can encode in the following formats:
* mp3 - using the lame library * mp2 - using the twolame library * Ogg Vorbis * Ogg Opus * AAC - using the faac library * AAC HEv2 - using the libaacplus (3GPP reference code)
DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers:
* ShoutCast * IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x * Darwin Streaming Server
Darkice runs on the following operating systems:
* FreeBSD * Linux on intel and PowerPC * MacOS X * NetBSD / OpenBSD * SUN Solaris
DarkIce uses POSIX real-time scheduling to keep up with sound card input. POSIX real-time scheduling is only available if the program is run as root. Therefore it is recommended that DarkIce is run as root.
