access.log is in Combined Log Format, which is quite well documented
around the web is the same as what Apache produces.

The only thing differnet is the last parameter, which is a number.  It's
hte number of seconds that the connection lasted.  using this you can
turn the bytes into bitrates, and figure out average listener time, etc.
You can parse the logs with any normal log parser, they will all ignore
the last value.

icecast.log is only meant to be readable by humans.  It's not in any
format.

Look at apache.org for Combined (and Common) log format docs.  From
memory it's something like:

ip/host, identd, authname, date, request string, status, bytes, referer, 
agent, seconds connected

Hope this helps.
