Ices, ices2 and icecast

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Dear asterisk highnesses!

I am trying to stream audio from asterisk to icecast using the good hints on
voip-info.org/wiki/index.php … k+cmd+ICES

However when I cp the .call files to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing I get all these weired errors that I can’t make head or tail of (see below).

I also tried testing the Ices() command as such with

exten => [myExtension],1,Ices('/path/to/ices.xml')

but that didn’t seem to start the stream as well (which might be because it is completely wrong to do it like that…).

Ices invoked with a playlist works fine. I’m now on Ices0 as an mp3 stream is needed, but tried Ices2 before with the same result.

How should I best troubleshoot? Is what I’m doing utterly pointless?

Thanks and cheers,
Konrad

Here’s the CLI output after copying moh.call to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing:

Contrary to the above, it appears I have not yet found the right source client:
[ul]
Ices0 - only does playlists, does not accept live input
Ices2 - accepts live input, reportedly works with asterisk (although I havn’t managed yet) but only does Ogg Vorbis
DarkIce - does mp3, accepts live input but needs Jack if there is no soundcard. Whether it works with asterisk is unclear
LiveIce - like DarkIce but no Jack support
[/ul]
The goal is to stream an asterisk channel to icecast as mp3. Is it at all possible? Would anyone have a hint for me?

Thanks and cheers,
Konrad
