[Icecast] Problem with Intros in Relay with RealPlayer

[Fred Black]

Yes.
I took the intros out of our production setup, I setup a test relay on
another server:
http://38.116.36.62:8000/ClassicRock if you access the stream with Windows
Media Player, or iTunes, the into plays and then the stream plays.  If you
put it in a playlist and try it with RealPlayer, you will get the error
message.

Example Playlist file:
[playlist]
File1=http://38.116.36.62/ClassicRock
Title1=Test
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=1
Version=2

The fix I put in was for providing some metadata initially, as real player
went odd with the single 1 byte nul, it applies to relays as well as source
clients.

I don't see why it would be the single nul byte now, is your stream
accessible to check the contents from here ?
