I think it needs to be pointed out that Icecast isn't this uber-complex
system.  An ultralight embedded stream server could be written in a
matter of days which preforms Icecast's most core functions without the
web interface, MP3 support, etc.

I'll argue that such a server could be designed as part of Icecast, but
several things need to change first such as switching to libogg2.
