[icecast] icecast acceptable headers

[oddsock]

the problem is probably that nsvcap most likely tries to attach using the 
"shoutcast source" protocol, which is some strange variation of HTTP (but 
definitely not HTTP).... It's strange-ness and non-HTTP-ness is the reason 
why icecast doesn't support connecting the Shoutcast DSP to it.  So I don't 
think any magical combination of headers will get live NSV 
working...although if we ever build in Shoutcast strange-non-HTTP-ness into 
icecast, it should work no problemo...The problem, to support connecting 
the SHoutcast DSP (and probably NSVcap) we have to majorly hack icecast to 
support this "custom" protocol, which we really don't like doing :)
