yep, it's in there...you give it a master server ip and port and the relay 
functionality will connect to the master server and relay all connected 
mountpoints.

this is not in there.

yep, Michael added that a bit ago...Shoutcast style streaming titles (or 
any streaming titles for that matter) is not supported however.  You will 
now need to provide a Content-type which indicates what kind of stream you 
are sending in the source client code.

<p>>which of these are going to be in the upcoming beta?

tream metadata for MP3 isn't there, and the metadata for vorbis streams is 
handled in the same way metadata is handled for vorbis files (they are part 
of the vorbis comment block)  Icecast2 doesn't currently support any kind 
of metadata updates via a web request (like Shoutcast/Icecast)

additionally, the icecast2 beta will support :

- XSLT (for presenting stats.xml in a HTML friendly format - i.e. a status 
page)
- Generic file/HTML serving
