[ale] icecast

[Richard Faulkner]

I was the point-man for ShoutCAST development/deployment when I was at
XM in DC.  My first assignment was a streamer for World Cup Soccer in
2006 and the last project that I was responsible for was the back-up
ISDN streamer for Live Earth on 7/7/07.  The platform was an IBM 8100
Series chassis running XP (SP2) and was fed from the main satellite
control out in LA for that event.  Fun days and tons of overtime!!!

ShoutCAST was stupid simple to set-up and use and ran on most anything.
I have a project brewing to do ShoutCAST (or Icecast) on a RHEL server
that I'm planning on building-up for a radio format that I'll be
launching (non-profit).  This is a sandbox that I haven't played in for
a few years but it really worked pretty well and wasn't hard to set-up.
Documentation was good and like I said, it ran on most anything.  (My
wife, who is a radio DJ, was complaining how she wished she could have a
radio station of her own a few years back...15 minutes of set-up on
ShoutCAST and I had her streaming to the world.  Checked back after a
couple of hours and she had a small audience listening to her library
streaming through a player).  Note:  this was before I took the Linux
oath thus why we were doing this on M$...I've since mended my
ways!!  : )
