    Hi,

    Yes, it's possible to stream to an Icecast/Shoutcast server using Darkice,
    either on a machine that has a sound card dedicated to the task (connected
    via the audio out cable on the playback sound card) or if you have
    hardware capable of using it, you can use the Jack server.

    Phillippe Druout wrote a howto for setting up Campcaster with Jack:

    and there is also some information about Darkice and Icecast here as part
    of our overall Radio Package installation:

    I hope this answers at least some of your questions,

    Suit yourself. We're here if you decide you need something a bit
    higher-powered.

    Hi,

    I think that's backwards: Darkice is much simpler, Savonet is bigger and
    more flexible, but more complicated.

    You can install Darkice with apt-get from the official repositories on
    Debian or Ubuntu, and it has a GUI for easier configuration (called
    Darksnow); Savonet seems to come in source form only, and uses its own
    scripting language.

    On the other hand, to stream a file with Darkice, you need to play it on
    one sound card, and then feed it back to Darkice on another sound card,
    which means decoding and then reencoding (loss of quality). With
    Savonet you seem to be able to stream files directly, without decoding
    them to audio.

    We are partial to Darkice because we have tried it and know that it
    works; it's easy to install; and (full disclosure) it was developed by a
    friend of ours.

    For a standalone web radio, Savonet may indeed be what you are looking
    for. Campcaster was designed for small FM stations, who can add Darkice
    if they want to do streaming as well as regular broadcasting.

    Savonet looks interesting, though. If you try it, we'd like to hear
    about your experiences, so that we'll know whether to recommend it to
    our users as an alternative to Darkice.
