Interesting. Your hinting made me look a 42nd time at Shoutcast's
website. I almost gave up again, since they repeatadly say you need
winamp to send the stream to your shoutcast server to broadcast it to
the world... the I noticed a very small section on "other" alternatives,
and that pointed me to the linux client. Very nice!

I tried 3 times to get icecast going. The farthest I got was both
icecast and ices running, but no "mount points" appeared in icecast and
I couldn't figure out how to even listen to stream! :(

Anyways, after finding the linux broadcasting client for Shoutcast I
configured both and it's working! :) Thanks for the hints.
