hi,

First :
we get a lot of cliking
where do you think it come from [lame ?]

first, i suspect some bandwidth problems.

lame is not that CPU-intensive

but you can check this with a 'top' command

( check CPU status ).

to find the bottleneck,

several actions might be taken :

a/ emit your stream towards a machine on your LAN,

do clicks still happen ??

b/ lower mpeg quality until clicks disappear.

especially, lower bitrate and increase quality factor

( higher quality parameters are LOWER quality in fact ).

let's try : "mpeg 8000 8 2 9"

which is the lowest quality.

also, check that pd is running with the -rt flag.

let me know the results of all these actions.

PS : i've never tested shoutcast on the net, only on a LAN.

no noticeable clicks.
