Hello all,

I'm quit new to icecast, but I have project dealing with streaming (currently
only  audio) for web radio, and I would love to use the icecast protocol as it
already has everything I need.

But, In order to be usable for us, we need to be able to 'embed' the icecast
server (in a dll or statically) in our program, and control it programatically.
We need his to reconfigure the relays using a bandwidth distribution algorithm.

We only need the relaying feature, the first server would be a 'normal' icecast,
and the final clients would be normal clients (Winamp ...)

How easy this coule be done ? I see no dev docs on the site dealing with an
Icecast's API, suggesting it hasn't been developped with these kind of usage in
mind.

Thanks for your time,
Regards.
