Not only was it asked before, it was even implemented years ago. ;-)
It got first released in 2.3.3, but there was no proper documentation.

http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.0/icecast2_auth.html
(scroll to the very bottom)

2.4.0 has a bit more documentation. Essentially it's very similar to
listener URL authentication. Which is also documented there.
