It's only about SSL/TLS layer data compression, as this is about how we
use openSSL.
https://trac.xiph.org/changeset/19263


Note that Icecast never supported HTTP level, content-encoding based,
compression. Given that 99.9% of the bandwidth probably goes to things
with very high entropy, it wouldn't make much sense either.
Coincidentally that makes us safe from BREACH too, not just SSL/TLS
level CRIME attacks.
