i am confused. icecast only supports ogg/theora streams. the only
program i know to encode theora is ffmpeg2theora. ffmpeg2theora cannot
acces my audio-device. mencoder can access everything (v4l and alsa),
but there is noway to pipe the stream in a format, that is understood by
ffmpeg2theora. are all these assumptions right? if yes, how the hell can
one stream an ubs-cam WITH audio live? i think, i don't look through
this at all.
