Yes.
This is described in the documentation, see the section in
icecast2_config_file.html on "Mount Specific Settings".

You'll need to explicitly configure each mountpoint you want to have a
separate password (and optionally username).
You don't need to set up any of the other things in the <mount>
section, except for <mount-name> to specify which mountpoint this
applies to.

My mistake, here is the mail again, for the record.

Hi,

I will show you the options you need to change.  Leave all the others in 
place, or change them to your needs.
Taking the supplied icecast.xml as a base, you should edit:
<authentication>
   <source-password>password_only_you_know</source-password>
</authentication>
(once again, in <authentication> there are more settings, leave them, 
and change if necessary)
This will keep people from creating new mountpoints (streams).

Now will enable a mountpoint so a user can stream via your server:
<mount>
   <mount-name>/stream.ogg</mount-name>    
<username>the_name_of_the_user_you_want_to_allow_access_to</username>
   <password>his_password</password>
 </mount>
(once again: leave the other options, or change them if you want)

Now create new <mount> </mount> sections like the one you've
just
created for each and every user you want to give access to.  Just use 
different <mount-name>  , <username> and <password> settings
for each.

The configuration file has a few comments on the specific options, so 
judge for yourself if other things need to be adjusted (like number of 
listeners).

Hope this will get you going,
If this is not enough help, reply with your icecast.xml and your 
changes, so we can see more of what you're trying to do.

p.s. you will need to give each source-client (your users) the values 
<mount-name>, <username> and <password> of their specific
mountpoint to
put into their broadcasting software.
