I’m pleased to announce the next public beta release of GlassCoder, a minimalist JACK live encoder client for Icecast and Shoutcast streaming servers. GlassCoder is available under the GNU Public License version 2. Some features available in this beta release: Support for Icecast (v2) and Shoutcast (v1) streaming audio servers Support for the following audio codecs: MPEG-1/1.5 Layer 2 ('MP2') MPEG-1/1.5 Layer 3 ('MP3') MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding, Main Profile ('AAC') MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Coding, High Efficiency Profile ('HE-AAC+') Ogg Vorbis Support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit (http://www.jackaudio.org) GlassCoder is a ‘minimalist’ client in the sense that it utilizes no GUI or configuration file components whatever; its entire ‘user interface’ consists of a command-line invocation, making it particularly well-suited for use cases where the encoder is driven by fan external system, such as an automation system or script. Full documentation is provided by the included man page.
