Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I'm working on a project which aim is to stream possibly any media file to icecast. My best bet is to use ezstream with a single transcoding app to convert anything to vorbis/theora. During inital testing I've found that ffmpeg is doing it's job pretty well, altought I couldn't get it to decode input/encode output to/from raw format. However I've decided to ask here if anyone else came to this problem and possibly found a solution, preferably using a dedicated app for pipe transcoding (I couldn't find one).
