Darkice ogg buffer file darkice.cfg:commented out

Darkice ogg buffer file darkice.cfg:commented out in the config

Basically if you run Darkice for 3 hours you'll have a 3 hour ogg buffer file eating up your disk space even though pre-buffering only really requires 10 - 15 seconds of audio per client.

localDumpFile for some reason it's enabled in my configuration file.
I had assumed it was required for pre-buffering but looking at this again perhaps it wasn't needed.

commented out in my config


Here is my darkice.cfg:

 # sample DarkIce configuration file, edit for your needs before using # see the darkice.cfg man page for details # this section describes general aspects of the live streaming session [general] duration = 0 # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever bufferSecs = 5 # size of internal slip buffer, in seconds reconnect = yes # reconnect to the server(s) if disconnected realtime = yes # run the encoder with POSIX realtime priority rtprio = 3 # scheduling priority for the realtime threads # this section describes the audio input that will be streamed [input] device = hw:1,0 # OSS DSP soundcard device for the audio input sampleRate = 44100 # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100 bitsPerSample = 16 # bits per sample. try 16 channel = 2 # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo # this section describes a streaming connection to an IceCast2 server # there may be up to 8 of these sections, named [icecast2-0] ... [icecast2-7] # these can be mixed with [icecast-x] and [shoutcast-x] sections [icecast2-0] bitrateMode = abr # average bit rate format = vorbis # format of the stream: ogg vorbis bitrate = 192 # bitrate of the stream sent to the server server = localhost # host name of the server port = 8000 # port of the IceCast2 server, usually 8000 password = hackme # source password to the IceCast2 server mountPoint = phono # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server name = Phono # name of the stream description = My vinyl stream # description of the stream url = http://localhost # URL related to the stream genre = my own # genre of the stream public = no # advertise this stream? localDumpFile = dump.ogg # local dump file



I'm streaming 24/7 and I don't see any ogg files. Is it the dump file you're thinking of? I have it commented out in my config file:

#localDumpFile  = dump.ogg      # local dump file
