    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.

    Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. A copy of this
    license is included with this software in the COPYING file.
