-
-oggcast~ is a ogg/vorbis streaming external for pd (by Miller
-Puckette) that connects to an IceCast2 server.
-
-
-To run oggcast~ place the file oggcast~.dll for win or oggcast~.pd_linux
-in the directory of our patch or start pd with '-lib oggcast~' flag.
-
-To compile oggcast~ on Linux get the ogg/vorbice library from
-http://www.vorbis.com/.
-You have to modify the makefile to make it point to the place where the
-ogg/vorbis library is.

-oggcast~ uses the ogg/vorbice library to encode audio data.

-Usage:
-
-Use message "vbr <samplerate> <channels> <quality>" to set the vorbis
-encoding parameters. Resampling is currently not supported, so 'samplerate'
-should be the one pd is running at. 'channels' specyfies the number of channels
-to stream. This can be set to 2 (default) or 1 which means mono stream taking
-the leftmost audio input only. 'quality' can be a value between 0.0 and 1.0
-giving the quality of the stream. 0.4 (default) results in a stream that's
-about 128kbps.
-
-Since Vorbis uses VBR encoding, bitrates vary depending on the type of audio
-signal to be encoded. A pure sine [osc~] results in the smalest stream, com-
-plex audio signals will increase this value significantly. To test the maximum
-bitrate that might occur for a quality setting use noise~ as signal input.
-
-Use message "vorbis <samplerate> <channels> <maximum bitrate> <nominal bit-
-rate> <minimal bitrate>" to set encoding quality on the basis of bitrates.
-When setting all three bitrate parameters to the same value one gets a
-constant bitrate stream. Values are in kbps!
-
-Message "connect <host> <mountpoint> <port>" connects to the IceCast2 server.
-Note that no response about succesfull connection is send by the server. All
-messages in the pd console window about connection status depend on the ability
-to send data to the server.
-The mountpoint should end with '.ogg' to indiocate to the player/client that
-it is an ogg/vorbis encoded stream.
-
-Use "passwd <passwort>" to set your password (default is 'letmein') and
-"disconnect" to disconnect from the server. "print" prints out the current
-vorbis encoder settings.
-
-To set the comment tags in the ogg/vorbis header (which can be displayed by
-the receiving client) use message "<NAMEOFTAG> <comment>". Supported tags are:
-TITLE, ARTIST, GENRE, PERFORMER, LOCATION, COPYRIGHT, CONTACT, DESCRIPTION and
-DATE (which is automatically set to the date/time the broadcast started). To
-get spaces use '=' or '_' instead. Note that under Win2k '=' sometimes get lost
-from the patch after saving!!!
-
-
-Listening to it:
-
-To listen to ogg/vorbis encoded livestreams many player need an extra plug-in.
-Have a look at http://www.vorbis.com/ to find the appropiate plug-in for your
-player.
-To play back the stream just open lacation http://<server>:<port>/<mountpoint>.
-
-Note that changing encoding parameters or header comments while oggcast~ is
-streaming to the server might result in audible dropouts.
