[Icecast] HTTP authentication

[Mikel Sanz | 20 Comunicación]

I would like to have a private signal, which can only be tuned by whoever
has the username and password, and know who is connected. But I wish the
URL could be delivered with the username and password, to open it directly
on a player or receiving device... Thanks.
