NAME

       streamer - serve streaming audio

SYNOPSIS

       streamer [-c config-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       streamer  reads  audio  data from stdin, and streams it in
       MP3 format to clients that connect via HTTP.  The  lame(1)
       audio compressor is used to create the MP3 stream.

       A  station  description entry is also maintained on shout-
       cast.com.

OPTIONS

       -c config-file
              Read the configuration from config-file instead  of
              from "streamer.conf".

BUGS

       The  following  aspects  are  not configurable: options to
       lame(1) including the bit rate and quality; the port which
       listens  for  HTTP  connections;  the  maximum  number  of
       clients; the address of the shoutcast directory server(s);
       the  station name shown on shoutcast; other shoutcast info
       such as urls.

       No attempt is made to adjust the streaming rate  to  match
       the  MP3  bit rate.  Input data should be supplied in real
       time.
