As far as I know, the icecast.xml file only supports passwords in
clear-text.

The only user that needs to read the icecast.xml file is the user under
which the Icecast2 process runs.

If you chown the icecast.xml file to the user that runs the Icecast2
process, then you can change the permissions to 600 if you want.
