which is probably introduced by client side buffering.
If you want to minimize buffers - you should turn of burst-on-connect in
icecast.

It might even increase lag - depending on client software
If the client software uses fixed size buffers it will buffer longer
periods.

Certainly fewer players will have support for speex I guess.

If you want to experiment with speex: I think ezstream can handle this.
oggfwd too

than an question about further development of icecast?
