[Icecast] Question about range select for static file serve in icecast

[Iceuse - Kris]

Hello,
I modified my player so now, it downloads the file until a valid ogg 
header is found (given a limit, to avoid fetching the wall file for 
nothing).
Then, it plays. Works great.

This means my stream MUST have headers every 5 minutes for example. I'll 
add dummy comments (with time for example) for that, as a new header is 
inserted for comments.
