A oneline fix for you that drove me briefly mad till I realised that 
CGI->header capitaliases the first character of custom headers:

src/auth_url.c: line 345 should read:
     if (strncasecmp (ptr, "icecast-auth-user: 1", 20) == 0)

Other than that, I can report that my quick hack to test auth_url works 
a treat :)
