[arm-allstar] Issues with Broadcastify streaming audio off of my node...

[Doug Crompton]

I am on my way out but here is a quick message on this... The line in
rpt.conf should look like this:

outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8
--bitwidth 16 - - 2> /tmp/stream.status | /usr/local/bin/ezstream -qvc
/etc/ezstream.xml

​Cut and paste it to make sure you have it right. It must go in the node
stanza for the node you want to broadcast.

Also run ezstream manually at the Linux prompt to make sure it is working
and the config file has no errors -

​ezstream -qvc /etc/ezstream.xml
