[icecast] icecast2 and static files

[M Edwards]

If you check this unofficial howto at http://quasi.ksl.com/icecast/ then you 
will find an example xml config file for ices which allows you to server 
static music files. However, you will need to remove the 'encoding' section of 
the file as on my system it would reencode on the fly as long as that section 
existed.
