How much Overhead?

[madclown]

Noob question, but:

How much overhead is on a typical Shoutcast stream? I'd like to calculate, since I currently only have 60KB (~470kbps) to work with upstream.

ie, using DSP 1.8.0, if I choose 64K 22Khz Stereo, it says "7kb/s". How much overhead is added on top of that 7kb?

Other noob question: that "7kb/s", is that in kilobits (kbs) or kilobytes (KB)?

Thanks

simple math

470/64 = 7.3 and some digits more

if you want to stream without having to worry about overhead you stick your max listeners to 6

that leaves you with enough bandwidth to surf the internet, msn or whatever without having to worry that the listeners might hear nothing anymore.
