              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
for those (like me) who wonder what that is:
https://trac.xiph.org/report/9?asc=0&sort=created&USER=anonymous

| #1814 | FLV streaming support                      |
| #1812 | Handle a source using POST and PUT request |
^^^^^^^^^
so that just lets them in, then you need to do SOURCE-like auth anyway,
and have SOURCE-capable software, is it really worth it ? that was a
hack made to be able to push directly with ffmpeg POST and not have to
use a libshout client in the middle.

not saying you should

https://github.com/xaiki/IceCast/commit/25825ebb638a6d32a99d4ecb79bfed19804429b9

but maybe.

| #1811 | Fix streaming on iPhone                    |
^^^^^^^^^
have you actually checked it's needed, I remember pulling this one off
my tree after a discussion on #icecast.

| #1810 | Race conditions fix                        |
^^^^^^^^^
that's a bucketload of more locking, any performance data ?
