Using Wireshark monitoring the traffic the connections seams to be ok on
Icecast 1 protocol, using SOURCE method and such. I saw that your ffmpeg
version is quite old, updating can solve any bug that can be messing out
your usage

I've tried adding " -content_type 'audio/mpeg' -ice_name 'CBC'
-ice_description 'CBC' " to make the Icecast request more complete, I don't
know if they are mandatory to Limelight but they get rid of "It seems you
are streaming an unsupported format." warnings on the ffmpeg log
