I've not made any more progress on correcting this.  In the icecast log files I see
the non latin characters showing up as they should, but on the player end and on
the icecast status page, these show up as mixed numeric/alpha codes.

I found discussions on this topic here:

http://icecast.imux.net/viewtopic.php?t=5790&sid=0e344159ada979f19ff9cda2dac42b6f <http://icecast.imux.net/viewtopic.php?t=5790&sid=0e344159ada979f19ff9cda2dac42b6f>

And this announcement addressing 'charset' here:

And then in the documentation where it provides examples for the icecast.xml file:

http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.0/config-file.html <http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.0/config-file.html>

I've probably just got that misconfigured.  In my setup I'm streaming from nicecast to the
icecast server and authenticating via <relay> so while I've got a <mount> defined with the
same mount-name as my nicecast stream to the icecast server, I don't believe the <charaset>
directive I have defined is even used.   What is the correct way for me to configure icecast.xml?
