I believe that the first sentence should be dropped. Icecast receives
a string, and converts it (if needed) to its internal encoding. By
default it is latin1, which is problematic, thus the UTF8 setting.

Apparently, this setting cannot be peformed by the client, the
protocol doesn't allow it. On the liquidsoap side, the charset option
only tells liquidsoap how to encode the data, but this information is
not sent directly to icecast. Am I right, Romain?

Cheers,

David
