The Icecast PID file will be created by Icecast itself when it is started.

The location of the file is defined in the config file icecast.xml.

If it's not there or commented out, it appears that no PID file is created 
(i.e. that there's no default location).  I say this because my running 
Icecast server on my home machine doesn't seem to have one and it's 
commented out in the config file.

I guess you can put it anywhere, but there's probably a standard location 
for such things and it may even be specified in your config file.
