That's what you'd expect, surely? If you have them commented out, it isn't 
MEANT to list on them. Also, you might have built icecast without yp support.

Could be a client problem. There's not enough info here to be sure, but 
icecast doesn't normally behave like that.

Well, if you're streaming at 48 kbps, then it's 48 kbps for every listener, 
obviously.
