You failed to mention which codec you were using, and I'll assume you're not using MP3. With Vorbis (espically not set in CBR mode), the value in the box is actually the percentage of quality... on 320kbit MP3 input material that may very well be 153Kbit or higher depending on the material input ...

Your willingness to fix these issues in such a great time frame should be commended, I really do appreciate it.

Just an update on some testing (thanks for leaving some debug info in the build, it helped me trace some of it down) running an strace shows the segmentation fault just after a thread starts... so I looked further into it and it appears that memcpy() is failing in the libc file that it's dynamically ...

Well, compiling something static is just a matter of telling the compiler to link the libraries into the binary... the problem you get though is that some systems are so different that they don't work for the static binary... Here's some solutions that may work: 1) Compile it for Fedora Core ...

Perhaps this is a library issue: [services@devbox steamcast]# ldd steamcast linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x4f4e3000) libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (0xb7fb7000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x4f47c000) libc.so.6 ...

Update: Binding it to one processor did not have any effect on the issue. Although I did notice that my source connected, got disconnected (it read negative 1 bytes), then connected as normal..

Does any of this help?

Yeah, it's running the SMP version (Hyperthreaded P4 in the box).. if you're unable to replicate the issue I can provide you with access to my box if you need to see anything on the box or check libraries. Any sort of beta for Linux? (as I've seen some windows binaries posted around as pre-releases ...

Here's some relevant info: Linux - 2.6.11.9-050512a #1 SMP Thu May 12 20:53:02 CEST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) Running the binaries off the website, I've encoutered two issues that are very curious... first of which leads to a full crash ...
