Tu put it simply, you have: A - source string encoding B - target encoding charset=UTF8 in metadata updates sent from sources to icecast is for A, charset parameter in icecast.xml is for B. A and B are latin1 by default for mp3 mountpoints (historical) and utf8 for ogg. When a string is received, icecast performs a conversion A -> B if needed. Good?
