A bit yuck, indeed. I hear our trunk source should compile fine with 
mingw nowadays if you need another option.

if this is a regular stream you could as well just use the relay 
functionality discussed already in the diverging sub-thread.

No. That certainly will not work.
Please have a look here to understand this a bit better:

For relaying, check this:
http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.3/icecast2_config_file.html#relay

If you need to do any processing on that original stream, then you might 
want to consider liquidsoap.
