Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I followed this tutorial in order to setup icecast with ices on a gentoo box.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Icecast_OGG_and_MP3_streaming
Everything worked fine apart from the <background> option.

With the background option enabled and the init scripts, as mentioned on the tutorial, the ices/icecast plays the first track from the playlist and then it causes enormous memory leaks causing kernel to kill it! Probably something is going on during the startup process... I tried hard but I cannot find a solution to this.

Any help appreciated.

cheers,

mo

You well need to explain in more detail. Things like, what exactly has a memory leak, icecast or ices, what version is it etc, what appears in the log files when the problem starts?
