ah.  You've been caught by the old port+1 thing.  The Nullsoft shoutcast
server serves on one port and listens on another.  To avoid confusion on
the part of shoutcast users, when the listener specifies a port in the
shoutcast DSP, the DSP actually tries to connect to that port plus 1.  So
using defaults, specifying port 8000 will result in a connection attempt on
8001.

There are 2 ways to deal with this.  Using the above example, either tell
shoutcast DSP to connect to 7999, or use multiple <listen-socket> elements
to get icecast to listen on both 8000 and 8001.
