No, Apache can only send as fast as the client connects. This isn't really
a problem. If only it did work this way, I could download files much faster!

What's more of a problem are underruns with icecast when the client's play-
back clock is faster than the source's. Fortunately the bufferes are big
enough mostly people don't stay connected long enough to notice.
