Happy to know that I'm not alone with this strange case.
But adding
      SetEnv downgrade-1.0 1
      SetEnv force-response-1.0 1
into the VirtualHost section solve the problem for apache2.0.54
apache docs explain about proxy-force-response variable, but it's 
useless and not working. Those two are working fine.

The reason I found is that ICECAST is sending HTTP 1.0 header in 
response to a request, but
apache 2 is sending a HTTP1.1 header.
(checked with wget -S)

So maybe apache is encapsulating HTTP1.0 header into HTTP1.1 header, so 
some players are troubled?
