How do I get my microphone working with Oddcast in Foobar? I can record things just fine, and I'm using the latest version of both, streaming just fine... I just can't seem to find a switch or anything like that to switch over to line input like there is in Winamp.
Thanks in advance.

Advanced recording such as that, which supports switching into a live stream, would need to be implemented into Oddcast itself. Certainly, any DSP, and this is no exception, could stop on the chunk of audio it is currently processing, start recording from a live source, and process/emit the resulting audio, resuming where it left off on demand. Of course, this would all need to take place within a single call to the DSP's run() or on_chunk() functions, however it happens to be implemented.
Theoretically, Oddcast could do this, and encode/transmit the resulting audio in place of the file, then resume exactly where it left off, without having to buffer up the input audio data. It would simply pass the recorded audio out as new chunks, on some reasonable interval, such as every ~1024 samples or so, then resume transmitting/passthrough at the last input chunk.
Sounds like it would be fun to code this.

When I use oddcast with my SBlaster Audigy 2 card I just check "record from windows device" and then you can switch the recording source whenver you need to in SBlasters mixers settings.

That works, unless you need to play from a collection of files and break into the stream occasionally with an announcement or such. Although, if you felt like it, you could play the files from one instance and record/broadcast from another.

Well no, if I record from "what you hear" setting I can just turn on the mic when necassary. There is knob which controls the level and on/off. So if the mic is not muted you just turn it on and yu can talk over the music if you like.
