DSP to source a stream

I'd like to use Foobar2000 as a source for my Icecast server. I haven't found any DSP's for this in the Third-party plugins sticky thread, nor are there any listed on the site that thread provides. Searching this MB only tells me how to listen to streams, not create them.

Is there a DSP out there that I'm not finding? If not, what would it take to persuade someone to create one (that matches FB2K's low-resource / low CPU characteristics)?

Kind of hard to expect low CPU usage from something that has to encode an MP3 or Ogg Vorbis stream in real-time. Think of the X times real-time figure you get from your command line decoder using 100% CPU, divide 100 by that figure and that's about what you should expect.

I realize that a multicast DSP using %1CPU just isn't realistic. I'd be pleased to have ANY multicast DSP for FB2k. I'd be satisfied if that DSP was tuned for efficiency. But right now, I'm stuck with Winamp because I don't have a DSP for Foobar2000.
