I guess I need to provide a packet trace, which I don't have handy. I
think that Icecast may initiate a TCP SYN back to the client, which is why
I'm having a problem. Stateful firewalls tend not to allow packets back in
unless they have the established bit set. If it actually is sending a SYN
back for the stream (which I need to verify) it won't set the established bit
and the firewall will drop it.
