Yes, the client protocol is HTTP 1.0. Which is very well documented.
The only 'extra' here is for mp3, in which case we support the shoutcast 
inline-metadata protocol, which is a pretty nasty hack, but is supported by 
most players. Do a search for "shoutcast mp3 metadata protocol", that brings 
up several documents that describe it.
