This is correct: we send a user-agent header (for compatibility with shoutcast 
when doing relaying), but the only thing we do with that header is report it 
when requested (including logging).

I believe he said he tried it with icecast 1.x and it worked - this is very 
strange, to say the least. Without detailed network dumps, it's hard to even 
guess at what might be being done differently.
