If you want to be able to support alternative stream types (such as AACplus) using libshout-2.2.2, you’ll need a patch to add a ‘mime’ method. You can then manually set the mime-type for arbitrary stream types. I also included a minor change which sends ‘content-type’ headers to Shoutcast/ICY stream servers, which is required for Shoutcast server support of AACplus streams:
Additionally, if you’re streaming through Perl, the Perl bindings (Shout-2.1) will also have to be patched similarly both for mime support and for support of the ‘send-raw’ method which is required for non-mp3/ogg streaming. For some reason, send-raw was left out:
