It's a feature that you shouldn't need. The synchronization is a
synchronization with "real-time": the audio should be streamed at the
speed of its listening. By default liquidsoap does that
synchronization (after sending each bit of audio it waits the right
amount of time) but it can be turned off (setting root.sync) in which
case it sends data as fast as possible. This is usually crazy unless
you're outputting to a file, or the output is doing the waiting for
you. This is what the sync param is for here: the icecast output can
block liquidsoap to wait the right amount of time before the next
output round. No normal user uses that feature now, and I think it's
safer for you to follow the default.

Cheers,
