[Icecast] I can listen to a stream locally but not from anywhereelse.

[Brian Beck]

Thanks all for the prompt replies.  It turned out to be a client issues all
the way around.  The winamp versions I tried  as well as my friends all were
the lite version.  I was not aware that iTunes could play local oggs but not
streams but apparently that's exactly the case (and possibly a similar issue
with real since the only place real would play it was locally on the FC3
box).

I installed the full winamp version and all is well at least for my windows
machines.

Also don't forget that the full version of WinAmp is required to play
oggs.  The lite version doesn't support it.  iTunes can play local .ogg
files but not streams if you download the ogg components from
qtcomponents.sf.net.  I haven't messed with real player, and I have no
intention of doing so.
