Icecast Streaming Media Server

[gabiand]

Heya,

I'm a PhD student at the University of Southampton. I'm researching the how multi-threaded software uses shared resources such as shared state and message passing over networks etc, and how those uses change across software versions. I am attempting to read through the source code of Icecast but don't have a great understanding of multi-threaded C so if anyone could give me pointers or a general description about how the shared variables/condition variables are used and for what conceptual purpose I would be much obliged.

Thanks,
Gabrielle
