DESCRIPTION

12       DarkIce as a live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio inter‐
13       face (e.g. sound card), encodes it and sends it to a streaming  server.
14       DarkIce can record from:
15
16           * OSS audio devices
17           * ALSA audio devices
18           * Solaris audio interface
19           * Jack sources
20
21       DarkIce can encode in the following formats:
22
23           * mp3 - using the lame library
24           * mp2 - using the twolame library
25           * Ogg Vorbis
26           * AAC - using the faac library
27
28       DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers:
29
30           * ShoutCast
31           * IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x
32           * Darwin Streaming Server
33
34       Darkice runs on the following operating systems:
35
36           * FreeBSD
37           * Linux on intel and PowerPC
38           * MacOS X
39           * NetBSD / OpenBSD
40           * SUN Solaris
41
42       DarkIce  uses  POSIX  real-time  scheduling  to keep up with sound card
43       input.  POSIX real-time scheduling is only available if the program  is
44       run as root.  Therefore it is recommended that DarkIce is run as root.
