Version 0.2
copyright (c) 2002 by Olaf Matthes
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.

due to a bug or for other reasons.
*****************************************************************************
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.
