Darkice version is 1.0
Icecast version is 2.3.2
On the Raspberry it is taking its audio via a Sound Blaster USB Soundcard connected to the headphone jack of a scanner.
After turning on the debug option on Icecast one thing I noticed is that my non-raspberry streams are putting this line into the debug log when they connect:
[2014-03-10 14:27:40] DBUG format-mp3/format_mp3.c sending metadata interval 1000
My Rasberry stream is putting this line into the debug log when it connects:
2014-03-10 14:40:16] DBUG format-mp3/format_mp3.c sending metadata interval 16000
A much larger 'interval' value. Does that make a difference?
All my non-raspberry streams seem to play very well together, they are feeding my Icestream server via ProScan scanner software, again connected to scanners. They can run for days without problems and have an average of 10 users listening to the stream at the same time. The non-raspberry streams seem to have perfect audio where as the raspberry stream break up from time-to-time.
Another difference I've noticed in the debug log is that once per minute my non-raspberry streams have this line in the debug log:
[2014-03-10 14:16:24] DBUG admin/admin.c Admin request (/admin/listclients)
[2014-03-10 14:16:24] DBUG admin/admin.c Got command (listclients)
[2014-03-10 14:16:24] INFO admin/admin.c Received admin command listclients on mount "/1013"
[2014-03-10 14:16:24] DBUG fserve/fserve.c Adding client to file serving engine
[2014-03-10 14:16:25] DBUG stats/stats.c update node clients (3)
[2014-03-10 14:16:25] DBUG stats/stats.c update node connections (6)
[2014-03-10 14:16:25] DBUG stats/stats.c update node client_connections (4)
[2014-03-10 14:16:25] DBUG stats/stats.c update node clients (2)
But the raspberry stream never has this series of entries in the log.
And a final thing is that when I'm running 3 non-raspberry streams (using ProScan) my internet speed while they're running averages around 23 Mbps, but with just 1 non-raspberry/ProScan stream and 1 raspberry/darkice stream running my internet download speed goes down to about 3 Mbps. I'm using the website SpeedTest.net to test my internet speed.
