If you really need input.http and output.icecast, then all you can do
is setup hooks in icecast (I believe this is possible) and control the
HTTP input from those hooks.
However, you may be able to use output.harbor() instead of
output.icecast(). It's not as robust, but good enough for simple
personal uses, or as an intermediate before going to icecast. Then you
get on_connect and on_disconnect hooks directly in liquidsoap.
There are also more advanced tricks where you create the harbor output
on demand, which could mean (re)creating the http input on demand as
well. But I don't have a reference in mind, and this is a too
experimental anyway.

I'm sure this will be interesting for others. This might be worth a
snippet on the wiki?
I didn't know that dd worked better than cat, but it's probably a
buffering issue. Regarding using named pipes for single(), I have no
objection except that, if it works with input.external, that's good
enough for me, possibly with a wrapper in the standard library. What
doesn't work in your attempts with single()?
