Just a note: This is similar to the problems I am (still) having. I too am
using Redhat9 (Icecast2 and Ices2).
I've used Winamp2 (Zinf tells me the data is corrupted), but instead of the
high-pitched noise you describe - I get dead silence. Of course, everything
leads me to believe that the connection is healthy and the stream is working.
There's a <savefile>/home/user/output.ogg</savefile> option for
ices2.xml configuration - maybe you can verify that ices2 is encoding properly.
In my case, Ices2 is encoding properly when I listen to the savefile dump, but I
get the "dead air" pseudo-stream when I try to connect to
Icecast.>
