Geekast is an alternative to the web interface. currently, it can perform audio (ogg and mp3) or video (ogm) streaming through an external player like totem, or an internal player based on the gstreamer multimedia framework. in the future, it should be possible to encode a webcam or any input stream over the peercast network.

this metapackage provides all needed software for running geekast over a peercast-servent on localhost. for more customised installation, use peercast-geekast and geekast-binary separately.
