DarkIce is a live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio
interface (e.g. sound card), encodes it and sends it to a streaming
server.
DarkIce can record from:
- OSS audio devices
- ALSA audio devices
- Solaris audio interface
- Jack sources
- uLaw audio input through a serial interface
- CoreAudio (branch darkice-macosx)
DarkIce can encode in the following formats:
- MP3 - using the lame library
- MP2 - using the twolame library
- Ogg Vorbis
- Opus
- AAC - using the faac library
- AAC HEv2 - using libaacplus library
DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers:
- ShoutCast
- IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x
- Darwin Streaming Server
- archive the encoded audio in files
Note: This package optionally uses POSIX filesystem capabilities
to execute with elevated privileges (required for realtime audio
processing). This may be considered a security/stability risk. Please
read http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To enable
capabilities, pass SETCAP=yes to the script.
Optional dependencies: faac, twolame, jack
