                encoding.  -->

            <!--    Stream instance.

                You may have one or more instances here.  This allows you to
                send the same input data to one or more servers (or to different
                mountpoints on the same server). Each of them can have different
                parameters. This is primarily useful for a) relaying to multiple
                independent servers, and b) encoding/reencoding to multiple
                bitrates.

                If one instance fails (for example, the associated server goes
                down, etc), the others will continue to function correctly.
                This example defines a single instance doing live encoding at
                low bitrate.  -->

            <instance>
                <!--    Server details.

                    You define hostname and port for the server here, along
                    with the source password and mountpoint.  -->

                    and samplerate given in the parameters to the oss input
                    module above or the remsaple/downmix section below.  -->
