[PD] Pd as a 24/7 Icecast/Shoutcast source client.

[Michal Seta]

I've had success with nSlam:
http://tot.sat.qc.ca/down_nslam.html

There is, in fact, in the package, a prepackaged example of streaming
application.  I have not streamed 24/7 but for about 4 hours without a
problem.  I used to run many different patches 24/7 (in different
contexts) without pd crashing so I would expect it to work longterm as
well.

Let us know how it works out for you, please.
