[icecast] Client Woes

[William Goldsmith]

Oh, the problems that RealPlayer causes run much deeper than this - and
aren't solved quite that easily.  The fix below *should* work, certainly -
but it won't.  Anyone experiencing conflicts after installing or updating
Winamp or RealPlayer should read through the stuff in the support forum at
www.winamp.com.
