User-Agent sniffing. This is very easy to implement - go ahead and do it, and 
send in a patch if you think it's worthwhile.

I doubt it. As mentioned previously, this is a LOT of work, and icecast's 
internals are not particularly well suited to it. Perhaps the Helix server is 
more what you're looking for?
