It handles the socket connection, the timing of the +data, and prevents bad data from getting to the icecast server. + +With just a few lines of code, a programmer can easily turn any application +into a streaming source for an icecast server. Libshout also allows +developers who want a specific feature set (database access, request taking) +to concentrate on that feature set, instead of worrying about how server +communication works. + +Libshout is an optional dependency for mpd and has an optional requirement +for speex, both of which are available at SlackBuilds.org. |
