Hi List!

First, thanks Savonet developers, for this great streaming tool. I
discovered it a few months ago, and I now use liquidsoap for the
radiodriftless.org streams.

I use liquidsoap in our studio to encode audio from a sound card, and
send the audio to our public stream server. At the public stream
server I use liquidsoap to split the input stream into three output
streams and send them to icecast (also running on the public stream
server). We are not using liquidsoap to play audio files, we are using
it simply to encode the audio input from a sound card.

Further information: we are using Amarok to play audio tracks. The
analog output from the player computer's sound card is connected to a
mixing board, and the mixing board output is connected to the analog
input of our stream source. This stream source uses liquidsoap to
encode the audio (as MP3), and send it to the liquidsoap process on
the public stream server.

It all works great (I especially like how stable is liquidsoap!), but
I have a question about meta tags. I searched the mailing list
archive, but I cannot find references to meta tags with the vorbis
output plugin. It seems "output.icecast.vorbis" inserts Artist "The
Savonet Team" and Title "Liquidsoap Stream" after an (undetermined)
length of time (undetermined because I have not watched it closely). I
use an external process to update the stream meta tags. This process
sets the tags directly on the icecast server rather than at the stream
source.

Also, I have tried to use the liquidsoap telnet server to insert meta
tags, but output.icecast.vorbis resets the tags to "The Savonet Team",
and "Liquidsoap Stream" even after I have set them with the telnet
"insert" command.

I would sincerely appreciate direction or thoughts. I am happy to look
at (and change if necessary) the source code, but I do not know ML
very well.

Thanks for any help!

Best regards,
 David Klann
