[Icecast] Icecast service remains locked in CentOs

[Basil Mohamed Gohar]

Did you install Icecast from SVN or icecast.org download, or did you
install it as a package from CentOS's package repository?  The reason I
ask is because the problem may also lie in how the service is configured
specifically for CentOS/RHEL.
