Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Every time I run ices it changes the input line.
(running OpenBSD3.9 and ices2)

if I run "mixerctl -a" it will show
record.source=mic
which is what it should be.
then I run
ices2 ices-sun.xml

the "ices-sun.xml" file being the standard one that comes packed with icees except the oss in the file has been changed to sun.

the stream has no sound and "mixerctl -a" now shows
record.source=line

if you manually change it back to being "record.source=mic" you get the sound you should.

to get arround this I tryed making a script containing

ices2 ices-sun.xml
record.source=mic

the record.source changes to mic but then changes to line. Some time after if you manually change it to mic it will hold.

Id assume the sun driver is changing it when ices calls it
does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix the problem?
(puting sound into line wont work due to level)

Do you think the sun driver could be getting unloaded and loaded automatically just by ices starting and stopping? if so then the source=line could be the default and may require to post-install mixer setting to be done

Thats what I would suspect is happening. For now Ive just but a delay in the script after running ices2 and using mixrectl to reset the source to mic and that sorts it. Supose no real biggy but it did take me yonks to work out why I wasnt getting sound from the mic input.
