streamTranscoder is a command line application designed to provide 
opportunities for broadcasters to support multiple types of 
formats/bitrates/samplerates for their streams i.e. you can stream to 
the CMA's icecast server using different bitrates at *the same time*.

It will act as both a listener client (for many different types of 
streams) AND as a source client (for many different types of streaming 
servers).

Currently the following servers are supported on input (i.e. listens to):

# Shoutcast - MP3 (with metadata and without)
# Icecast 1.x - MP3 (with icy metadata and without)
# Icecast 2 - MP3 (with metadata)
# Icecast 2 - Vorbis (with metadata)
# Peercast - MP3 and Vorbis
# KasterBlaster - MP3 (no metadata)

The following servers are supported on output (i.e. streams to):

# Shoutcast - MP3
# Icecast 1.x - MP3 (with icy metadata and without)
# Icecast 2 - MP3 (no metadata - Icecast2 does not support it at this time)
# Icecast 2 - Vorbis (with metadata)
# Peercast - MP3 and Vorbis
# WMA - win32 ONLY
