I'm trying to get Liveice + LAME working on a 4.3-Release box (to stream to another 4.3-R box running Icecast). I've configured Liveice to use /dev/dsp (also tried with /dev/dspW), SOUND_DEVICE, HALF_DUPLEX (also tried FULL_*), and various combinations of SAMPLE_RATE (trying to get 8000 on both to stream to slow modem users). The idea is to plug a cd player into the "line in" of the sound card and stream it out. Something that caught my eye is when I bring up Liveice (on std curses interface) it says "Input ... 16 bit, ... Hz", the "16 bit" stays unchanged regardless of what I change in the Liveice cfg file. Recompiled kernel recognizes the sound card just fine, and /dev/sndstat shows "pcm0: ESS Solo-1E at io .... (1p/1r channels)" The sound card is fine, because when I plug a portable cd player into the "line in" of the sound card, I can listen to it on the speaker output of the same sound card. This is with LAME 3.88b (not from ports) and the latest Liveice (not from ports). On the surfaace, things seem to work both locally, on the remote machine running Icecast, and on the windoze pc client running Winamp. However, only static garbage comes out on the windoze Winamp. After lots of fiddling, I decided to enable Liveice's "SAVE_FILE"; I ran it for a while and then took the *.mp3 file it saved and opened it with Winamp, and it's just static garbage. So, this suggests that something's wrong at the very outset (possibly with the way LAME is working, or the way Liveice is calling LAME, etc). When I "ps" and see how LAME is being called, things look ok, and "lsof" shows that Liveice is indeed reading /dev/dsp (not /dev/dspW). I know this stuff (Liveice+LAME) works under Linux, but of course I want to use fbsd 4.3-R :-) Thanks in advance for any tips or pointers. -T.H.
