Hi. Are you trying to stream files from your computer to the Icecast 
server, or do you mean live audio from a soundcard input?

If you want to stream files, then Ices should work pretty good. If you 
want to stream live from the soundcard input, then I would try a program 
called MuSE. It's in ports (/usr/ports/audio/muse), and it is best run 
from the command line (the GUI gave some weird sound skipping problems 
for me). I use it for live shows and it works really well.
