[icecast] 'No Encoder'?

[Jim Shepherd]

I had similar problems with some streams I was serving from my home LAN.  I
have a DSL connection to the internet.  My understanding now is that DSL
uses an MTU setting of ~1490, while the MTU settings on my DSL router and
PCs was 1500.  By changing the MTU settings on my DSL router and PCs to
1450, everything worked fine.
