I am relatively new to icecast and have a question about a unique configuration. I would like to know if anyone has experience 'sinking' multiple source clients (ices2.0.x) into a single icecast streaming server? I would like to source content from a large number of streaming clients (dozens or maybe even hundreds), composite them into a single stream (essentially like an audio mixing board) and then have the streaming server serve up this new composite content to only a few listeners.

It is somewhat the reverse of a traditional streaming server configuration (very small number of source clients, a single streaming server, and numerous listening clients). Here is what I have in mind:

Many ---> |-------------|

source ---> | Streaming |--------> small number of listener clients

clients : | server |

: | |

---> |-------------|

Can this be done with icecast as implemented? If not and code modifications are necessary, what modules might one need to modify? Ideally, I would also like to apply a variable gain to each source client's channel independently before the composite process. Any help would be most appreciated.

Sincerely,

greg sampson
