how do I run edcast + icecast on a Windows 2008 Server with no audio device being available on the server to pick in the edcast config? I'm aware that I can't listen to the audio on the server, but shouldn't I be able to stream an audio stream anyway and then listen on my workstations using a browser e.g.?
Regards Alex
There are dummy audio devices for Windows as software solutions. You can install one of these and use it as a pipe to link a player to Edcast, which will then stream that to an Icecast mountpoint.
