[Icecast-dev] python-shout 0.2.1 with icecast 2.4.0 segfaults

[Frank Lazzarini]

Hi there,

that really seems to be the issue here. I've quickly created a new sdist
package for python-shout and installed it with the diff applied into my
virtual environment and the broadcasting seems to work just fine again.

So I can confirm this to solve the issue. Hopefully they accept Bug Fixes
fast so everyone could profit from this.

Thanks
