[Icecast] Many short connections less than 1 second

[Chris Howard]

Is it possible their listening software has some kind of local buffer 
and they

Is there any benefit to having lots of short overlapping connections 
rather than
one solid connection?

Having Line 1 be a different software than lines 3 and 4 is kind of odd.
