Yeah, I figure most people run icecast over a LAN, so it's not a problem
for them.

Thanks!  It took a bit of trial and error, but I've managed to get it
running.  Now I have to wait and see it the problem manifests itself
again.  [knocks on wood]

In the meantime, I've found something weird: Mplayer now crashes on the
HQ feed [*].  It used to work fine, and it still works fine on the LQ
feed; also, dumping the HQ feed with Mplayer and playing it with ogg123
also works correctly.

I'm attaching my new config file, just so you can confirm I didn't do
anything stupid with it.  If not, I fear I'll have no choice but to don
my asbestos suit and file a bug report with the Mplayer team.  [sigh]
