[icecast] Run liveice as a background process...

[William Goldsmith]

You can chmod 666 /dev/dsp* - I can't think of any problems with that. Or
create a group with the appropriate permissions.

> Tried running it as non root user but something about the user not having
access to the /dev/dsp audio device.  I've got to give the user the ability
to use that device?
