[icecast] Reccomended user? Root or "normal"?

[Xavier Montero]

Is there any problem to run icecast as a normal user? I know that
if run along with liveice, I'll have to setup /dev/dsp to that
user, but what about TCP/IP ports? Will it be able to run normally
or I have to run it as root?

Will this help in the stability of the system? This would allow a
crash to only crash the user's memory space and not the system's
space.

Any suggestion is welcome.
