[Icecast] multiple mounts each varying bitrates

[Jake]

Awesome :)

I have nothing for the lyrics. The source should send metadata to icecast though, and icecast should update the metadata to any listening clients. Kodi will show that metadata, and so will Audacious, and I presume almost any client will.

I've never used ices2 but presumably it can send metadata?
