[Icecast-dev] iPhone patches question

[Bob MacCallum]

Hi,

I'm just wondering what kind of functionality the iPhone patches
proposed on the list provide (e.g.
http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2008-November/001798.html)

For example will track name metadata be displayed (in the iPhone
quicktime player, I presume)?

Assuming the answer is 'yes' to the above, will I need to provide a
direct link to the icecast stream (rather than through a .pls file
download, as I currently do), and will that need to end in .mp3 or
have a specific mime type?

Sorry for all the questions.  I don't have an iPhone and so can't
answer any of them easily myself.

many thanks,
Bob.
