ok, that doesn't match the 8000 port and you should raise that with them 
as that doesn't occur here.  Check which package you actually have and 
whether it has been compiled for 32 or 64bit.

I don't maintain any distributions, so I cannot comment on their rpms or 
any patches they apply to the code.  As indicated, the 2.3.2 release is 
out and had more 64bit work done on it, whether that or something else 
is causing the port issue I don't know until you try with our shipped code.

general rule is, don't specify it unless you know what it is for.

whatever it is, it's wasn't for icecast2.

All that's there is icecast starting and failing to get a list of 
streams from a master server.
