Is the metadata relayed to connecting clients. i.e. take a client that 
supports shoutcast-style metadata, like winamp (and probably most others). 
Connect as a listener to the relay. Do you get metadata? You should. If you 
don't, the metadata relaying could have been broken (I think this is 
unlikely, though - that code hasn't been changed lately AFAIK)

I couldn't say whether or not this metadata is propogated to the stats core 
(and I think from there to the YP update stuff?). Maybe that's what is 
missing.

This option turns on relaying of shoutcast-protocol mp3 metadata. icecast 1.x 
optionally uses this (it also has a second, UDP based, way of doing metadata. 
Few clients support it, icecast2 doesn't support it), and icecast2 uses it if 
it's using metadata at all.
