i tested it: it does not quite work. there is a case in which it works:
- create pipe
- start serveez
- start client programm (it does not yet receive data)
- start sox/lame

this way the client receives a valid mp3 header and works as expected. if
the client connects at arbitrary time it sees just bit-junk (no mp3
header) and wont play anything.

bottom line: the .scm file is no real icecast server, sorry...
(btw.: icecast also includes file names and i believe arbitrary data
inside the mpg stream...)
