On the input tab in the settings for the DSP plugin you can either use your soundcard, or Winamp as the input device. This is useful if you don’t want to use Winamp to play the music, or you want to broadcast audio from a video, or you have some other cool way to DJ your music that you want to use but the software doesn’t have a way to stream to a ShoutCast server.

Just ensure that when you broadcast with your soundcard as the input device that you turn off all system sounds as those will be broadcast as well when you are streaming from the soundcard. Can you imagine having a bunch of people listening to some rocking tunes, and then someone calls your Skype and it starts ringing over the air…it could happen. This is also a good way to take calls on your live broadcast, because the caller will be coming in through your soundcard. Just make sure the ringer is off.
