We (Mixxx) have a user who reported an issue with hostname resolution. Here's the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1391654 They say their hostname resolves to both ipv4 and ipv6 and they bound icecast to the ipv4 interfaces. (I'm not sure why they don't bind to both). Mixxx cannot connect to icecast presumably because libshout is resolving and connecting to the ipv6 address. We do nothing but call shout_set_host with the user-provided host string. They are requesting that libshout "fall back" on the ipv4 resolution of the hostname if the ipv6 version fails to connect. Two questions: 1) Is this intended behavior that isn't working? 2) Is this desired behavior to have within libshout? (i.e. a suitable feature request) If either is yes I'll go ahead and file a bug on the Trac. If not I'll keep this as a feature request for Mixxx.
