    icecast 2.x - README
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg 
    Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet 
    radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in 
    between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added 
    relatively easily and supports open standards for commuincation and 
    interaction.

    * curl - http://curl.haxx.se/download.html (>= version 7.10 required)
