The burst only affects the listener, vlc should not have an issue with
this but I have noticed that vlc has resampling kicking in midstream,
but that isn't icecast specific.

burst-on-connect was an option that was used originally in trunk (pre
2.1) for this sort of thing, but was only a enabled/disabled option. It
was left in and made to select 64k or 0 for burst-size, for people who
had used that option before the release came out.  It could be dropped
now, as burst-size is more flexible and can be used per mount.
