About this application
butt (broadcast using this tool) is a streaming client designed for Linux that facilitates audio transmission to Icecast and Shoutcast servers. The application captures audio input from connected hardware devices and encodes it for real-time broadcasting. It supports various audio formats and allows users to configure connection parameters such as server address, port, and mount points to establish a stream.
Beyond basic transmission, the software includes features for monitoring stream status and managing metadata. It functions as a bridge between local audio sources and remote streaming infrastructure. The application is distributed under the GPL-2.0-or-later license and is intended for users who require a direct, command-oriented approach to managing live audio broadcasts over network protocols.
