Icecast is a FOSS streaming media project maintained by the Xiph.org Foundation. It also refers specifically to the server program which is part of the project.
Technical details The Icecast server is capable of streaming content as Vorbis over standard HTTP, Theora over HTTP, MP3 over the protocol used by SHOUTcast, AAC, and NSV over the SHOUTcast protocol. (Theora, AAC, and NSV are only supported in version 2.2.0 and newer.) It uses external programs, called "source clients", to originate the streams, and the Icecast project includes a source client program known as IceS. It has similar functionality to the proprietary media server program SHOUTcast, by Nullsoft. See also | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
