[Icecast] Custom Hooks

[Alex Hackney]

I actually got this to work this morning finally. The problem was on my 
auth server.

I see the source auth hook being sent a lot, is there anyway to get the 
current metadata in that hook?

Ideally, every time the source is updated, I'd like to get a hook so I 
can track the songs that are being played. Alternatively, the only way I 
can see doing it, is to make a get request every X seconds and watch for 
the song to change.
