[Icecast] Identify listeners on log reports

[Marius Flage]

Hi Mark,

You can maybe look at authentication:
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/auth.html ?

I guess you need some way to differentiate the different users from each
other, either by IP address (though not that accurate) or by
username/password. Authentication can solve both cases for you.

I myself have used the authentication to provide some better logging,
but the users themselves are blissfully unaware that "authentication" is
happening - as all users are allowed access.
