Thanks for the review !

I don't get where the patch should be changed ? The default mime value for
ogg
streams ?

Yep.  Any of the three media types should be allowed.  There is simply
no "default mime" anymore.

application/ogg is now for applications and (very) complex multimedia.
video/ogg is for video and audio, say films.
audio/ogg is for anything audio, be it Vorbis, Speex, FLAC, whatever.

If libshout can only do audio (I thought it could do video too, but
apparently I'm wrong) the default should be audio/ogg, with
application/ogg available as a legacy option for a couple of years
until all software updates to use audio/ogg exclusively.

I believe it can.

Humm..
So default mime would remain "application/ogg", but
"audio/ogg"
and "video/ogg" should be documented, right ?

It is also be possible to add new formats, which would be:
 * SHOUT_FORMAT_OGG_AUDIO
 * SHOUT_FORMAT_OGG_VIDEO
with the corresponding default mimes...

(I don't like this since the formats no longer have the same semantics)

This could

It can forward Theora just fine. I've tried it a few months ago through
icecast and the supplied example.
