[Icecast] After I enabled SSL, stream mountpoints broke

Thanks Thomas. I did see the stunnel option but I really had no need to
put out that extra effort as my source lives on the same host as the
icecast server. Just like you stated, since I'm pointing it at the
localhost there really is no need to encrypt that stream. So I'm just
running a secondary port that isn't publicly exposed as non-ssl.
Thanks again,
Nathan
