Trying to send local soundcard to icecast FLAC

[grainsoflight]

Maybe someone here can help me. I am attempting to capture audio from a sound card and send it to Icecast (well, final destination before speakers is Music Assistant in Home Assistant, so even better if I can send it directly there, but using icecast is fine), but Im having trouble getting it to work. The author that wrote up the tutorial did so in 2016 and a lot has changed. My current config is below:

`r/bin/liquidsoap

set the path and permissions for the logfile

set("log.file.path","/var/log/liquidsoap/phono.lo>

set("log.file.perms",777)

set("log.unix_timestamps",true)

#input from soundcard

phono = input.alsa(bufferize=true,fallible=false,>

#stream it to local icecast, default port and pas>

output.icecast(%ogg(%flac(samplerate=44100,channe>
mount="/phono",
name="Phono",
format="audio/ogg",
description="Turntable FLAC",
host="localhost",
port=8000,)
`
When I attempt to run liquidsoap, I get this error:

`At /etc/liquidsoap/phono.liq, line 17 char 0 - line 23 char 11:
output.icecast(%ogg(%flac(samplerate=44100,channels=2,compression=5,bits_per_sample=16)),
mount="/phono",
...
host="localhost",
port=8000,)

Error 15: Missing arguments in function application: source(audio=pcm(stereo), video=none, midi=none).`

If anyone could assist in getting this running, that would be really great

Hi @grainsoflight,
I can't see the whole text of your program, but I could try to guess.

Your code

# set the path and permissions for the logfile
set("log.file.path", "/var/log/liquidsoap/phono.log")
set("log.file.perms", 0o777)
set("log.unix_timestamps", true)

#input from soundcard

phono = input.alsa(bufferize=true)

#stream it to local icecast, default port and password

output.icecast(
  %flac(samplerate=44100, channels=2),
  phono,
  mount="/phono",
  name="Phono",
  format="audio/ogg",
  description="Turntable FLAC",
  host="localhost",
  port=8000
)

I want to refactor it a bit.

# Do you need a log file?
# I prefer to log to stdout+stderr because I use journald and docker.
#
# settings.log.file := true
# settings.log.file.path := "/var/log/liquidsoap/phono.log"
# settings.log.file.perms = 0o777 # 0o640

# input from soundcard

# phono = input.alsa(bufferize=true, fallible=false)
# In 2.3.0 the input.alsa function has different definition, so use buffer.
phono = buffer(input.alsa())

# I prefer to use ffmpeg
encoder = %ffmpeg(%audio(codec="flac"), format="ogg")
# %ffmpeg(%audio(codec="flac", ar=44100, channels=2), format="ogg")
#
# encoder = %flac(samplerate=44100, channels=2)

# stream it to local icecast with default port and password

output.icecast(
  encoder,
  phono,
  mount="/phono",
  name="Phono",
  description="Turntable FLAC",
  host="localhost",
  port=8000,
)
