involved. This is easy enough to verify, dump to a file as described on
that page and feed the resulting file to 'ogginfo'.
If it is indeed properly muxed into an Ogg container, then just
forwarding it via HTTP PUT instead of writing it to a file should do the
job.
I'd suggest someone just tries it. If you need a Icecast server to test
against I can also provide that. Ping me on IRC or send me a private email.

other? huh?
