Streaming MP3 server

Is there any Debian packages out there to turn my box intoa treaming MP3 server? I know of Icecast and Shoutcast for the actual atream server, and I suppose there is plugins for XMMS or MPG123 out there. Having .DEBs would really make it easier. Thanks ! -- Joel Dinel [EMAIL PROTECTED]

VIM example file for mutt
