It's called a tree. :)

right and a tree representation of continuously updating stats is well, not 
going to be terribly user-friendly.....

a simple list box of updating values in what I think people would expect 
when monitoring stats...Although I could simply display the raw stats XML 
in a window...although I'm thinking alot of people might consider that a 
bit ugly...myself included...

but honestly, with the advent of the rather nice (IMHO) web-based admin 
interface, the actual UI part of the win32 port of icecast seems a bit 
unnecessary..We could probably get rid of much of the UI portions with the 
exception of maybe a start/stop button and a admin button which does a 
browser open to the admin pages...

So don't show that data.  Or show it in a 'details' pane.  Nothing
says
you can't filter.  Probably for good UI you want a fix set of things to
display.  So display those and ignore the rest.  But I think the other
data should be there for other things to use.
