I'm sorry if my first mail wasn't clear on this. In Icecast, I see this
mount point on the status page as if everyting were going fine, it even
detects the resolution and the 2.00 FPS. The only thing I see in the log
file is:

The streamed video is created with ffmpeg and sent to icecast with
oggfwd. When I open this stream from the icecast status page with VLC,
it seems it is buffering but actually it will never start. If I increase
the FPS it just starts working or if instead of streaming, I write the
same low-FPS video into a file and I download it, VLC can play it
without problems.
