OK, that's from the Icecast side an easy situation.

It is fairly easy, you add the official Icecast repository (it's like a
PPA):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dm8tbr/xUbuntu_12.04/
The signing key is:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dm8tbr/xUbuntu_12.04/Release.key


This line will add the official Icecast repository for Ubuntu 12.04 to
your system:
sudo sh -c "echo deb
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dm8tbr/xUbuntu_14.04/ ./
>>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/icecast.list"

This line will add the GPG signing key to your system:|
wget -qO -
||http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dm8tbr/xUbuntu_12.04/Release.key
| sudo apt-key add -|

Once you've done that you should be able to just:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install icecast2

It should now offer the 2.4.1 package. Upgrading should "just work" and
your original config should be kept.

In case it doesn't work or you want to remove the repository, this will
get you back to the original Ubuntu package:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/icecast.list
sudo apt-get install icecast2/trusty

There should be no changes necessary to your Liquidsoap setup.
