You didn't mention what OS you're using, but here's a couple of likely problems:
 1) Unix OSes don't allow non-root users to bind to low (< 1024)
ports. You'll have to configure icecast to start as root then drop
privs if you want to use port 80.
 2) Maybe something else is already using port 80.

Also, are you sure you want to bind only to this address? Normally
people don't. It makes some things a little harder, since for example
testing from localhost won't work.
