I haven't touched IceCast yet, but I evaluating it for a project. On the website it says it uses TCP for streaming, is there an option of UDP? Wouldn't UDP be better for a large amount of streams?

The design has to be able to feed multiply end points while those end points can change sources at will as well as generate their own stream. Some of the broadcasts will be timed (on-air slots) say Friday night 1900-2200. ---
