Icecast Streaming Media Server

Does anybody have experience streaming aac via libshout? I can't seem to get audio from the stream (using winamp). I receive HTTP 200 OK message and that's it. However libshout accepts aac file on input and I see that there is a source available on Icecast (2.3.0)

libshout won't time the stream data, so AAC data will be sent as quickly as you send it to libshout (assuming shout_send_raw is used), I don't know off hand what happens with shout_send because that will depend on what you set as the format

So if I add timing calculations (correct parsing of aac headers) would that be theoretically sufficient?

If you do the parsing and work out the timing then it should be fine, I don't think there are any other issues but it's not something I've looked at.

Any luck with getting streaming AAC+ to work with libshout? I've searched for a streamer capable of streaming AAC from files. Ices and ezstream both try to parse the files and since they "know" only MP3 and Vorbis, they give an error with AAC.
Now I'm gonna experiment with shout_send_raw along with parsing AAC ADTS headers if someone hasn't already done this...
