Please have a look at /admin/stats.xml for the basic set of information.
In addition to that you can extract additional mount point related
information (also in XML format!) from other virtual files in /admin/ as
mentioned in the documentation.

If you aim for something real time, then you might want to have a look
at the STATS method. Sadly there is not much documentation for it aside
from the example mentioned here: http://icecast.org/#release_2.3.0
Note: We aim to move in a future version from the non-HTTP STATS method
to something HTTP compliant, probably a GET of a /admin URL.

Also: please support HTTPS! Most people won't want to send their admin
password in the clear across the interwebz. Especially from the
stereotypical 'Starbucks free WiFi'.

Cheers

Thomas
