For our source clients, I use mpd, ices, ezstream, vlc media player, and
oddcast. They all have very unique advantages and disadvantages, which is
why we use so many. It would be great to build one *super* icecast source
client that could do what all of those other ones do (but not really
feasible I suppose). Among these clients, Oddcast doesn't send out album
metadata, but it is the one we use for streaming a live input. For
streaming ogg vorbis, oddcast inserts the metadata directly into the vorbis
header. But another way to set metadata would be to send an admin command
to icecast to update the metadata (i believe this is what libshout does).
However, icecast allows you to only set the Trackname or the Artist and
Trackname. If needed, it would be very easy to update icecast to accept an
album value as well. I believe then you could use libshout with no
modifications to update the album metadata.
