Sure, testers welcome. Here's some info about Ices2 for those who are 
interested:

Ices2 is not a possible update to net/ices (which is Ices0). Ices2 is 
for streaming Ogg Vorbis, Ices0 is for MP3 streams. Both work with 
Icecast v2.

At this point, Ices2 supports streaming and re-encoding (if configured 
to do so) of .ogg files only as well as live input. I wasn't able to 
test live streaming myself, yet(*), so any success or "this is totally 
broken" reports are highly appreciated ... it is said to work, though, 
that Sun input module.

The current version is -beta4 and it won't get any new features until 
after it is released (which is supposed to happen soon). Ices2 will 
never stream MP3, it *might* get MP3 reading support eventually, though 
(but not in 2.0).
