traction because of its FLV support, which was a big feature before
Flash died out, but wasn't a good fit for the Xiph Foundation which

<p><font face="Gill Sans MT">IIRC Karl Heyes' version gained
attention as a result of being specified by PRONET Licensing and
their predecessor for their royalty tracking and US music
licensing service - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pronetlicensing.com/">https://pronetlicensing.com/</a> - presumably KH
provides stats that aren't otherwise available. The PRONET web

Answer: Shoutcast 1 and Shoutcast 2 and Icecast-KH servers only.
(Icecast 2 (non-KH) version 2.4.2 due out in early 2015 will
also be supported.)"</font></p>
<p><font face="Gill Sans MT">...but whether they actually
implemented regular Icecast 2.4.2 support I don't know. It
would be worth finding out what it is about the KH branch that
make PRONET require it, as there is only one other internet
radio licensing service around (Live365) and you can't use your
own streaming server with them.</font></p>
