The source runs typically in the place where the audio is generated (e.g., a studio) and the Icecast server where a high- bandwidth connection is available (e.g., a colocation centre). Links BelowThis tutorial shows you how to get a complete set up of IceCast with live streaming from a microphone or line in jack. Icecast requires external programs, called "source clients", to originate the streams, and the Icecast project includes a source client program known as IceS. Theora, AAC, and NSV are only supported in version 2.2.0 and newer.
