Actually, the reason I went with VLC -> Jack -> Pd was that [oggcast~] and [mp3cast~] (or whatever they were called), worked but were unstable, so I could not rely on them. Ideally, I would have preferred objects and this points to a need for such an object.
I'm a bit confused. If understand correctly, VLC is used for the playback part, so it would replace an external like [readanysf~] or [mp3amp~]. What external did you have problems with?
Actually, [mp3cast~], the object that streams _to_ an Icecast server, always worked for me. Never had an issue with it. Because I'm relying heavily on it, I forked it from unauthorized and put it as separate repo under the umbrella of pd-externals. Also, I added the capability to update icy-title.
If you find issues with [mp3cast~], please report them to:

Thanks for the chart in your previous mail. It's definitely interesting to see what setups work out for other projects.
