So, following on from some discussion on what to do about this yesterday...

There are actually a whole bunch of things done in the gnomevfssrc plugin for
'iradio mode'. I think most of them should be moved.
  1) sending the appropriate headers to get shoutcast/icecast to send metadata
for mp3 streams, and parsing response headers. Has to be done here.
  2) The 'x-audiocast' UDP metadata stuff. Runs a seperate thread. Does anyone
know of _any_ servers that actually produce/use this, that are in active use?
I'd rather kill it off if, as I suspect, nobody uses it.
  3) Parsing the shoutcast/icecast metadata out of the raw data, and forwarding
the remainder. This should certainly be done in a seperate plugin (which would
also help other http plugins that want to implement this)
  4) Special properties on the element for other 'iradio mode' headers.
Shouldn't we just be pushing these things as bus tag messages?

If people are happy to see x-audiocast support go, I'll try and work up a patch
to do all of this later this week.


Mike
