yes. i have 1.0.1 on a different machine. that works as you
describe. however, it probably just doesnt croak about the same errors as
mpg123 does. since most mp3 players are based on mpg123 i would say it's
good when that player can cope...

i am almost sure about that. the id3 tag is not part of the mpg stream. it
has to remove, i'd say. but one could check the icecast spec/source :-)
