I'm trying to get VLC to connect to an icecast server. From the looks of other posts on the subject, this should be possible only from the command line using something like this: ./VLC -vv dshow://dshow-adev="" :sout="#transcode{acodec=spx,ab=8,channels=2 }:duplicate{dst=std{access=sh...

I had a very similar error. I spent an hour searching on the web before it crossed my mind to try changing the bitrate (duh!).

I changed it from 196 to 128 and the encoding worked like a charm. Have you tried that?
