[icecast] a few ices/icecast questions

[Robin P. Blanchard]

I've been through this on the list a while back. Unfortunately what you
are asking is not possible, nor are the authors of ices interested in
solving your problem :) I'd recommend ices-0.0.1.beta5.tar.gz (as
recommended by otto's author) and seeing otto/misc/icecast/ices.readme.
I use the recommended setup things run great.
