[Icecast] Icecast auth over MAC address

[Ian Stewart]

Unless all the users are connected to the same switch and there
is no routers in the middle then this might be possible.

If there are routers, then you will get the routers MAC address
as that is how ARP and ENet segments get packets passed around.
