[Icecast] Use of TCP_CORK instead of TCP_NODELAY

I imagine it would, yes. I don't use icecast for mp3 streaming,
though, personally, as I don't have a licensed encoder.

I can't think of any case where TCP_CORK would be appropriate for
icecast, though removing TCP_NODELAY (thus getting the default Nagle
algorithm behaviour) might help in some cases.
