Recording audio

Anyone know how to record a live mic and pipe that to icecast ontop of streaming music? I'm guessing you need to send it to ices but so far just getting an external soundcard to work has been a challenge ..

streaming records lossless in real time

Call me crazy but what I want to do is have Audacity record from an analog input (record player) and in real time create flac or wave (lossless) files that can be streamed on my local network to other digital sound sources (eg slimdevices). Has anyone done anything like this? Thanks!

It appears Firewire Audio devices need a driver that is not available for FreeBSD.

So I would suggest you use your audio/soundcard and a microphone.
