Your favourite RFC repository.

You want RFC 2616. Note that icecast itself doesn't yet implement 100%
of this protocol (hopefully, support will improve in the future. It's
not, in practice, a major problem).

There's also some mp3 metadata crap for shoutcast compatibility, a
search for "shoutcast metadata protocol' on google finds some
third-party explanations of this protocol (which must only ever be
used for mp3!) - the icecast implementation was done from one of
these.
