That will only happen if something is really wrong. Might be better to figure out what it might be. Icecast buffers a bit (in order to burst into a client buffer) but it doesn't buffer increasingly over time. That will only happen if the client is falling farther and farther behind, not icecast.

Can you provide the scripts you use so I can compare and try to find the problem? I'm doing some processing in the frames using gstreamer, but even when not doing processing, I observed a lot of lag in the transmision from icecast. This halted my progress and I was investigating other RTSP alternatives to avoid the lag.

Icecast will buffer according to what it needs to burst into a new connection IIRC. Clients will also have some buffer. So, there's some unavoidable lag. However, the lag should only ge a few seconds, not a minute, and it would only grow steadily if the client is doing something wrong...
