I&#39;ve setup a conference bridge that has perpetual-sound set to a icecast stream.  When the first person connects, there is an ~7s delay before any audio is heard.  This is similar to a problem reported by Dan here and concluded with Tony adding the channel var &quot;enable_file_write_buffering&quot;.  The list discussion ended here: <a href="http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2009-February/011104.html">http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2009-February/011104.html</a><br>
<br><br>I set this var in my dialplan:<br>        &lt;action application=&quot;set&quot; &quot;enable_file_write_buffering=false&quot;/&gt;<br><br>prior to joining the conference.<br><br>The first person in still sees a 7s delay on audio the first time in.<br>
<br>Like dan, I have icecast setup with<br>burst_on_connect set to 1<br>but my burst_size is the default 64k so quite a bit of data.<br clear="all"><br>Has anyone been able to get an on-demand shoutcast stream from an icecast server to start immediately (or at least within a second)?<br>
