At least last time I checked, shoutcast had a 1 meg buffer (which was very 
annoying) that was not configurable.  This meant *huge* latancy at low bit 
rates.  And it would do stupid things like remember the end of the previous 
stream which was annoying as players would often choak when they got to the 
point where the new stream started.
