I have followed this tutorial to install icecast on Centos 5.5,

but cannot find the ices package for sending the audio to icecast for it to stream.
I would like to send the data as mp3, if there is a suitable program to do this.
I just went through this, and could not find a package for ices. In the end I downloaded and compiled DarkIce (once the development libraries were installed) http://code.google.com/p/darkice
Only thing that caught me out, was that you need to specify the output device in the DarkIce config file as an icecast2 server, or you get a message about opening underlying sink error.
Now happily streaming mp3 data.
Good Luck

I'm doing the same thing for broadcasting my NOAA weather radio stations around me. It just works. Icecast and Darkice are excellent. And David's right: use the Icecast2 server. Cheers!
