Stream sound card output to icecast2 via darkice

Question

I want to stream to icecast server via darkice, the default .cfg comes with /dev/dsp, witch is OSS, but there is no /dev/dsp in Ubuntu 12.10, so I tried hw:0,0, but it's just the microphone, and I would like to stream all of the sound-card output.

Any ideas?

cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xf8700000 irq 16

cat /proc/asound/devices
  1:        : sequencer
  2: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  3: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
  4: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
  5: [ 0]   : control
 33:        : timer

I tried following this post: How can I stream my soundcard output?

Solution 1

In the darkice configuration file (see example in /usr/share/doc/darkice/examples) we define the sound device in the following section:

[input]
device          = <device>

For ALSA we may give the sound card and the subdevice with the ALSA syntax hw:1,0 for card 1, subdevice 0. See your card specifications with:

aplay -l

Usually however you will have defined a default device. It is therefore worth to try with the following entries:

device = default
device = pulse # in case we have pulseaudio running.

Solution 2

Set device = /dev/dsp Then start darkice using: padsp darkice

padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS com‐ patible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to a PulseAudio sound server.

@Takkat Hi, Is the way to route icecast stream to dummy alsa device? Please advice: superuser.com/questions/1239805/…
