[Icecast-dev] Problem in iPhone streaming

[Pavol Grešša]

Hi,

i'm developing an internet radio client for iPhone and as server is  
used Icecast2. My problem is that every time when client connects to  
some source(mount) Icecast2 sends correct HTTP 1.0 header and after  
header delimiter(two empty lines(\r\n\r\n))  should be data ( mp3  
samples). But every time in the first packet in the beginnig of data  
section there are some bytes to which iPhone audio parser cannot  
undestand( Becasue every mp3 sample starts with mp3 header (0xFFF) ).  
This happens only to first packet. I'm sure of that, because i have  
stream in what i'm sure that raw sound data begins with prefix 0xFFF3  
and every time when i parse whole data in first packet and get only  
those mp3 sample, stream will became stable and iPhone is playing that  
radio for rest of time without any parsing.

  I'm debugging icecast source code for 2 days and i still did'n find  
function or procedure or whatever is it, where in start of client  
streaming icecast2 push in the begining , right after header, these  
bytes, which have everytime different lenght. I don't really know what  
is it.

So please , can you help me locate source of this problem?
