Yes, I realize that, and I actually did that in the beginning. However,
it always bothered me that then just audio was streamed. In contrast to
this the webstream or normal FM radio always contains nice artist and
title information. Sometimes there is also information about the
currently running show. At least the German and Swiss DVB-S programs
transport some broadcast information this way which is then comfortably
shown on the display of the squeezeboxes.

The nice thing about my little program is that Shoutcast works with many
other streaming clients as well and the implemenation is "standalone"
and independent.

Regards,
