No, I meant not using icecast at all, because you need liquidsoap for
transcoding (and possibly other things) and it's annoying to setup
hooks on one end (icecast) for controlling the other end (liquidsoap).
To clarify, an icecast-compatible source client can send directly to
an input.harbor() in liquidsoap. Moreover, an icecast-compatible
listener client can connect directly to an output.harbor() in
liquidsoap.

In fact I now see what's wrong with this approach. Liquidsoap first
reads the data for checking it, but then the data is gone when time
comes to play it for real. Therefore the request model really can't
work with pipes. Still, we should be able to do more than what we
currently have, avoiding dd, allowing the decoding of other formats
than PCM if a mime-type is passed, etc.
