I guess I have to consider myself the maintainer for this, by extension
of maintaining Icecast. I will try to get some input from python
experienced people, as said.
Once that's done, and probably some cleanups related to supported
encapsulation formats, I'll see to make a release and get it included by
Python, so that everyone can benefit from it.


Cheers

Thomas
