i have noticed, some of the counties may show gray (not having a feed) but in reality, they do. Victoria county, where i live, was gray, but i have local PL, local Sherrif, and EMS.

I like this!! Has anyone figured out how realtime it is? I don't have a scanner to test. 1min, 5min, 10min?

In my experience with setting up a streamed scanner feed using both darkice (mp3) and ices2 (ogg) as source clients at home, icecast as the streaming server at a hosting facility, and xmms as the mp3/ogg player to listen to the stream, there is about a 20-25 second delay in the audio due to buffering among those three steps. It's possible to reduce this a bit, or increase it a lot, but that's what I'm getting on fairly default settings.
