[icecast-dev] Ogg response headers

[Dave St John]

> clear as mud ?
Thick in it LOL

Ok since you discussed how clients handle mp3, what about ogg vorbis?
winamp is just supposed to recognize the .ogg extension?

like i said before the mp3 works with that code, but ogg mounts just sit
there, doing nothing.
