[Ubuntu] Streaming live audio to Internet?

[Scott Ehrlich]

Well, I finally got it!

icecast2 was always working for as a server, but I didn't have a working 
config file or method to send audio to it, until I found 
http://www.gnuware.com/icecast/chap_08_02.html and took the example 8-2 
sample ices2.xml file from it and created a fresh config.xml file on my 
system from which to run ices2 -c ./config.xml from.   I did perform some 
tweaking of the config.xml before finally running it, but as soon as it 
took, I got the streaming audio I wanted.

Finally!

Thanks to all.
