This seems to have been remedied anyway with the release of 2.1 ... we 
were able to launch the station for testing and optimization with a 
number of Icecast servers (running on RH Linux) relaying from two 
AudioActive realtime encoders.  End client is (optimally) the flash 
player.

The burst buffering is a cool feature, as well.

I sent out a message to this effect last week but suspect it didn't get 
through..
