 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.
