Hey everyone, I'm trying to get it set it up so I can work remotely on
my linux box from a windoze terminal over vnc and hear the audio via
icecast. I got icecast and muse working, listening through real player
on windoze. However, the latency is really high, about 10sec. I'm using
a AMD 64 3000 patched with low latency, and both ends have high speed
dsl connections. Can anyone tell me what to do to get the latency down
to a couple of seconds or less?
Thanks
Iain

What have you set the buffer sizes to in icecast and RealPlayer? That
kind of programs typically have very large buffers.

In icecast I turned off the burst thing. Is the queue size in the conf
file the same as buffer size?
Don't know, sorry. I just remember that when I tried to setup a live
feed using Icecast of me playing keyboard with Zyn I didn't get under
15-20 seconds using XMMS for playing (or much much more when
broadcasting digital silence, since I didn't manage to set the OGG
encoder to use a fixed bitrate). I didn't try that hard though, and it
was almost a year ago.

Don't know about realplayer, but I think you're on the right track for
icecast.
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.2.0/icecast2_config_file.html
Try lowering the queue-size and play with burst-on-connect and
burst-size. There is almost always someone in #icecast on
irc.freenode.net who could help you if you still have trouble.

Don't know about realplayer
Um, realplayer is closed source and definitely does not allow setting
the buffer size. This is likely to be a dead end.
Isn't there a workable non-proprietary alternative to stream audio over
the net?

That's odd. My version of realplayer has a "buffer partial clip for ...
seconds" setting in the preference screen (on the Playback page).

xmms, amarok?

Thanks for the tips. I'm trying to get it streaming from home ( gentoo )
and receiving on windoze where I'm controlling it with vnc. Is real
player the only windows option? Would winamp be better?
Would the source player be a problem too? Or does the latency all come
from icecast? I'm using Muse right now as the source.
Thanks
Iain

It depends which kind of streaming you ouse. You can check
www.audioscience.com
and find audio card with Ethernet connector :-)
However, there are Linux drivers.... and there you go....
