Well, it would be best for you to read io/src/tstream.cpp in freeamp
and xmit/Transmitter.cpp (int CVS) of Obs.
However, the quick upshot is this:
The client creates a upd server sockets and when it connects to an http
stream, it sends the port number to the remote server. The
shout/icecast server will then transmit the title of the stream in the
style of a http header.
In the case of RTP/multicast, the server will simply transmit the
titles one port number higher on the same multicast address.
