Well, this is a thread about using jack with icecast.

Maybe you should think twice before commenting on things that you don't
really know the answer to.

The purpose of this thread is to find out if anyone on this list knows the
answer.

Surely the people who worked so long and hard to bring us icecast and the
vorbis tools are not so disinterested in JACK that they have not found the
time to add support on their own over the past 14 years. If that is the
case then I would like to know if anyone on this list knows why that is
so...

Perhaps Monty can shed some light on this topic? Or maybe one of the many
other long time users of icecast has the details.

It does seem to be a glaring omission from that detracts from the
flexibility of the official vorbis/icecast toolkit.

If it is simply that there is already support in darkice so no one can be
bothered to add it to ices then at the very least can we get a note in the
official docs about it?
