Hi,
Is there anyone using Pd for doing intense file streaming towards an Shoutcast/Icecast server? I am interesting in hearing impressions, discovered drawbacks, etc..
http://www.netpd.org/netpd.m3u http://www.radiosolarkompass.org/listen.pls
both are automatically generated streams, where pd is doing the logic, volume control and the actual streaming to the icecast server. i wouldn't call them very stable, but this is probably more due to some hacks, that were necessary to make it running and due to my freestyle programming style of that time. they are both running 24/7, to be honest 'pseudo 24/7', since cron executes a killall/startall script every night, so that in case of crash the off-air time is not longer than a day (i don't want to check them every day).
i wonder, how it would be to have pure generative stream without mplayer->jackd->pd quirks. i could imagine, that it would run quite stable.
i guess, depending on what you are doing, you would need to restart pd anyway from time to time (-> symbol table pollution). but this applies to long-term uses of pd generally, not only to streaming.
