Never said "everyone". But I guess I must've compiled darkice myself
back when I used it, or I just streamed Ogg Vorbis. Most people I know
doing this stuff just pirate a copy of SAM Broadcaster.
   Most likely
because it's not written. You could provide a patch rather
 than complain about probably imaginary politics. 
 That doesn't make sense as supposedly the ices-kh package has been around
 for a while and is even included in Arch Linux. So why do *I* need to
 write a new patch when the ices-kh repo already has or had support at some
 point? 
 
The usual reason for something not being there is that it does not exist
yet. Apologies for not bothering to research your issue more.
  Surely the icecast people are aware of the kh
package(s)? Let's say for
 the sake of argument that hte kh codebase is considered inferior for some
 reason does anyone know if there a specific reason that officially
 sanctioned JACK support is not already included in the official ices
 codebase? 
Why don't you ask them?
  Is this another one of those JACK vs PA vs Android vs
Icecast vs ...? 
Probably imaginary politics.
