[Icecast] Streaming to Doja devices

[Geoff Shang]

Hi,

Actually, I thought that Icecast did support seeking for static files.  Of 
course it doesn't for a live stream.

maybe not streaming, but seeking inside a file. many http servers
support this. But it would need a special piece of software on the
device to make those requests. icecast certainly will not do what you want.
