NAME

darkice - an icecast / shoutcast live audio streamer

SYNOPSIS

darkice [options] -c config.file

DESCRIPTION

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

DarkIce can encode in the following formats:


    * mp3 - using the lame library
    * mp2 - using the twolame library
    * Ogg Vorbis
    * 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.
