Icecast2 isn't designed to use mp3pro, its a different format
alltogether which only uses the "mp3" name to piggyback on the concept
that "mp3 = online music".  I don't think it'll work with
Icecast2.

If you need MP3, try using ices0, or better yet use ices2 and stream Ogg
Vorbis.  Better quality than MP3 (by far), and if you feel the need you
can supply your users with easy access to a Java (JOrbis) client for
listening without an Ogg-enabled player (which most are nowadays).
