Description:
Jack OddCast v3 allows you to hook into any jack output port (e.g. from XMMS) and broadcast the audio to an icecast or shoutcast server.

This version of oddcastv3 is all command-line oriented, and comes with example config files for each of the encoding types supported (Ogg Vorbis, LAME, AAC). You will most likely need to take one of the example configs (in the conf dir) and modify it to suit your needs.

Also supports oggFLAC streaming.
But very very few clients currently actually support oggFLAC streaming. The only one I found was on the windows platform here : http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/. Installing those filters will allow you to play oggFLAC streams from within Windows Media Player.
Also, streaming oggFLAC is really only good for LAN streaming as it is lossless and very high bitrate. There is currently no way to "configure" any oggFLAC options. Also, you need to use the latest Icecast (2.3.0) in order to support oggFLAC streaming.
