I have a running icecast2 server and it works with a playlist and ices0. Now i try to getting ices2 work with amarok and the first of my two soundcards.

my ices2-alsa.conf

Code:

        <module>alsa</module>
        <param name="rate">44100</param>
        <param name="channels">2</param>
        <param name="device">plughw:1,0</param>
        <param name="periods">2</param>
        <param name="buffer-time">500</param>
        <param name="metadata">1</param>
        <param name="metadatafilename">/home/denny/amarok-meta.txt</param>
        <!--    Stream instance.


Soundcards:

Code:

root@anjali:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SoundByLayout [SoundByLayout], device 0: Master []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: default [C-Media USB Headphone Set  ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


I want to play Amarok an hw,0:0 and let ices2 grabbing it. What is problem?

If i use, oss instead of alsa, i have similar problems. ices says, that /dev/dsp does not exist (also /dev/dsp1)

Are you sure you have the correct devices, usually the device is named 'default' (assuming 'default' maps to the dmix plugin involving hw:0,0)

                comment.count 1
                comment.range '0 - 16'
                iface MIXER

                value 0
        }
        control.7 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type BOOLEAN
                comment.count 1
                iface MIXER
                name 'Auto Gain Control'
                value true
        }
}


the root user does not have a ~.asoundrc.

So where i get the right information? Can you explain it more clearly?

Ok, don't know why, but the config file is now working. It seems, that the configuration file had a problem.

Now i use: <param name="device">plughw:default</param>

So, now i want to play files with amarok and i need to know, how to grab with ices2 from the correct device. Sure, "default" is wrong.
Hm, i use the mac mini (PPC) and mixing etc. is all per software. The soundcard does not have a real mixer. ...

The other thing, which i find mysterious, if i play with ices0 my static playlist, the cpu is quite down, and i recode on the fly. With ices2, my CPU goes high.

impossible to say why the cpu is high based on the information given, you could be using managed mode which uses more CPU.
