The log format requires that it is only written on disconnect.

It would be easy to add another form of logging that logged on connection, but 
I'm not sure it's a good idea. I'll think about it.

It's a recoverable error - usually, it means the TCP send window is currently 
full, so icecast has to wait a while before sending any more. There's a 
reason this is logged only at 'DBUG' level.
