That's the one.

The problem is that I have someone who insists on using the win32/winamp 
combination as the source, and I'd rather use icecast as the server 
instead of the nullsoft shoutcast implementation.

You say above that I'd need to run 3 copies of shoutcast on 6 ports to 
handle 3 streams, so is it possible to use SHOUTCast send a single 
stream to an icecast server?
