i found evidince of that in the libshout documentation. libshout is a
library that prepares data and stuffs it into an icecast server. the
icecast server performs the broadcasting [only].

here is the doc entry point:
http://developer.icecast.org/libshout/doc/

and here is a function that does what serveez is missing:
http://developer.icecast.org/libshout/doc/shout_send_data.html
note the comment on id3 tags.

so... it's not that easy at all. we could link against libshout or copy
code from them to build up good audio streams but i am not sure if that is
worth the effort. eventually serveez would only replace the networking
core of icecast...
