In OTA radio we use a compressor limiter to normalize the audio levels don't know if there is an open source/free software version but there might be some vst plugins that could help.

When I was putting everything together, I never ran across anything that would suggest ices was able to transcode to another format. You are right that it is converting on the fly already, since my media is a wide variety of bitrates and I wanted to provide a consistent playback.  If there is a flag in the config files that would push the output as ogg, I have no trouble with that, but I didn't see anything.

I only wish I could also normalize the volume on the fly... there seems to be a wide swing between different tracks, and that always annoyed me.

Converting the files isn't needed at all. stream and input file formats don't correlate too much. If you are sending at fixed bitrate (again bitrate != quality) with MP3 you are already transcoding on the fly. If you do so you could also transcode to another codec. Doesn't make any difference.
