This _did_ work (I tested relaying a shoutcast stream, with metadata, at one 
point). 

Is the relayed stream correctly sending the icy-metaint header? See 
format_mp3.c:80, where it parses the value. If that value-parsing goes wrong 
for some reason, continual stuttering would result.

If that's right, then the error is likely in 
format_mp3.c:format_mp3_get_buffer(), in the case where it handles a non-zero 
inline_metadata_interval. The code there _should_ work, but it didn't get 
very extensive testing, so there might be some cases it misses? It's pretty 
messy.
