DarkIce is a live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio interface (e.g. sound card), encodes it and sends it to a streaming server. DarkIce can record from: - OSS audio devices - ALSA audio devices - Solaris audio interface - Jack sources - uLaw audio input through a serial interface - CoreAudio (branch darkice-macosx) DarkIce can encode in the following formats: - MP3 - using the lame library - MP2 - using the twolame library - Ogg Vorbis - Opus - AAC - using the faac library - AAC HEv2 - using libaacplus library DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers: - ShoutCast - IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x - Darwin Streaming Server - archive the encoded audio in files Note: This package optionally uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To enable capabilities, pass SETCAP=yes to the script. Optional dependencies: lame, opus, faac, twolame, jack
