NAME
       darkice - an icecast / shoutcast live audio streamer


SYNOPSIS
       darkice [options] -c config.file


DESCRIPTION
       DarkIce  as  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

       DarkIce can encode in the following formats:

           * mp3 - using the lame library
           * Ogg Vorbis
           * AAC - using the faac library

       DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers:

           * ShoutCast
           * IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x
           * Darwin Streaming Server

       Darkice runs on the following operating systems:

           * FreeBSD
           * Linux on intel and PowerPC
           * MacOS X
           * NetBSD / OpenBSD
           * SUN Solaris

       DarkIce uses POSIX real-time scheduling to  keep  up  with  sound  card
       input.   POSIX real-time scheduling is only available if the program is
       run as root.  Therefore it is recommended that DarkIce is run as  root.

              loud.  Defaults to 1.
