I've just finished building Debian packages of all of the software in 
question.  I ran into the same problem during testing.

It seems to me, that sourcing with ices does not work on any mountpoint
which is defined with a <mount> in icecast.xml.  Either changing the target
mountpoint in the ices configuration, or removing the <mount> section from the 
icecast configuration fixed this for me.

Is this a correct diagnosis?  It is quite reproducable with my packages, at 
least.  This would seem to be a rather significant discrepancy in the example 
configurations, or perhaps just confusion as a result of a complete lack of 
documentation.
