15:38 @<cheche> hi jaromil , is the code on the git repository the latest one?
15:39 @<cheche> I have to compile the 0.92 version (dec 2007) but I saw some errors, I am 
                trying to use the one from the git repository but I found othere problems
15:40 @<cheche> 1) if i do not specify  -U source , I get login incorrect 
15:41 @<cheche> 2) muse stop working just after it started, I got the feeling that it is 
                not getting input and get stop, but I do not know how to get more debug 
                information
15:42 @<jaromil> git repo is latest, yes, compiles with new gcc
15:44 @<jaromil> better refer to that
15:44 @<jaromil> we need to write a small debugging guide
15:44 @<jaromil> -D3 gives more info
15:45 @<cheche> i did -D 3 already but not many info about the issue
15:45 @<jaromil> ok
15:46 @<jaromil> i suspect your problem has to do with the mp3 decoder library
15:46 @<jaromil> which is very old
15:46 @<jaromil> and yes, if there is no input icecast doesn't logs you in
15:48 @<cheche> well, I have test right now using "-e ogg" and still have same problem
...
17:45 @<cheche> 0c3fc462 is ok
17:46 @<cheche> so e9a1ed1d6f3b8df5edffe8bc97efa5968c23f415 seem to be the crupit
...
18:45 @<cheche> jaromil: i think that my problme fails on 
                Ic976bd951918fe526714c0b8564d8a7ed77fe72a
18:46 @<cheche> jaromil: on dev_sound.cpp what is the meaning of 
                input_device.pipe->set_block(false,false);
18:48 @<jaromil> that is setting the behaviour for the FIFO pipe
18:48 @<jaromil> it can be that
18:48 @<jaromil> as i mentioned, it is a thread locking issue
18:48 @<jaromil> set_block sets it
18:49 @<cheche> it was changed from false,true to false,false
