Icecast - Nov 2023 - Can I have the source client stream UDP to Icecast server without requiring the TCP 3 way handshake?

I have a simplex microwave radio ethernet bridge that can transport IP network
traffic in one direction only.
I need to get secondary audio streams to a transmitter site and Icecast source
client seems like a good idea but the docs show me that it wants to establish a
connection before starting the UDP stream.
Can this be tweaked to just send the UDP steam to an ip address and port number.
If not can anyone think of a work around to get it going the UDP steam through
the link?

Icecast is not using UDP at all.

Your best bet may be an AES-67 based setup (such as Livewire+ or WheatNet). That
includes a unicast mode that uses UDP (RTP to be precise) that should do what
you need. Since it sounds like you?re in a broadcast plant, you may already have
what you need at hand.

Cheers!
