Comment(by toots):
First, WAV format is only supported by harbor, not icecast, this is an
important point as we will see later. The problem also occurs with
%external("aacplusenc - - 64") and harbor but this is minor since it
should work ok with icecast/shoutcast which is the main purpose..
The situation is the consequence of two independant variables, that happen
to have the same values in both MP3 and ogg case:
* Do you need to reset the encoder to pass new metadata ?
* Does the format have a header ?
The two answers are false, false for MP3 and true, true for ogg vorbis.
In the case of WAV, the encoder does not need to be reset to pass new
metadata because this is done through icy metadata updates, but the format
does have a header.
The header is needed for the only case where WAV is useful, harbor.
I believe, though that this could happen in other cases. Basically, it
concern any format that uses icy metadata update but has a header...
