This should be possible to implement in icecast, but it's not currently 
supported.

I think it'd require:
Sending correct content-length headers for static content (I think we already 
do this? It's easy, anyway)
Supporting the Range (or is it Content-Range? I forget) header. This is fairly 
complex, but not really that hard.
