[Icecast] extended characters

[oddsock]

ok, after further review, it looks like it is oddcast that is not handling 
the charset properly.  I dumped an archive of what is being sent (the 
vorbis stream) and ran it through ogginfo, and I get :

User comments section follows...
         TITLE=I Láthair Dé
Warning: Illegal UTF-8 sequence in comment 1 (stream 1): invalid sequence

The odd thing is that if I play that archive in winamp, the correct title 
(Màire Brennan - I Láthair Dé) shows, and if I play it in foobar2k, then 
only the TITLE shows (which clued me in on the fact that the vorbis 
comments might be wrong).  Of course, it still shows up properly in the 
status.xsl, which is even stranger.

So the problem is with oddcast and it's lack of handling UNICODE characters 
properly when adding vorbis comments to the stream.  Now fixing it...well, 
that's another story... :)  At least I have a nice reproducible test case.
