[Icecast] Character encodings in ICY metadata

[Fred Gleason]

Greetings Icecast masters!


Does anyone know what the supported character encoding(s) are for strings in ICY metadata? The closest I’ve been able to get via a Google search is this thread:

	http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=208096&highlight=handle+unicode+characters%3F <http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=208096&highlight=handle+unicode+characters?>

Which would certainly seem to imply that UTF-8 is off the table. (Or is it just a Winamp limitation?) Is there an actual server-side standard?

Any light shed would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
