AMAROK ICES SCRIPT

Description:
This tool allows Amarok to stream your ALSA card output to Icecast2.
Important Notes:
* This tool won't stream Amarok output only. It streams your _complete_ ALSA card output! If you try to listen to your own stream it will cause echos of course! Deactivate system sounds because they're sent to IceCast2, too!
* If you like to change further ices settings, use ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts-data/ices-live.xml!
* If ices doesnt start, check if an instance is already running by doing `ps aux | grep ices`. Kill it if necessary.
Features:
* You can configure important ices options within Amarok's Script Manager
* Amarok ices updates current metadata on the Icecast2 Server
Bugs:
Please report any bugs (to kde-apps.org comment section for example).
Requirements:
* ices streaming client version 2 (ices-1.x won't work!)
* A working Icecast2 setup
* Python
* PyQT bindings

Warning: Ices died unexpectedly: Couldn't initialise input module alsa
Check your config please!
However, ices starts successfully ("ps ax | grep ices" returns "ices ices-live.xml"), and audio is still streaming. Only the metadata is not updated. Additionally, there are no errors in ices.log.
Any ideas?

How about supporting jack, then you could specifically redirect the amarok sound and not everything?
