Metadata should be kept in raw mode. On the one hand, you use:
  output.icecast(%wav, ..)
and on the other:
  input.harbor(..)
Metadata will be tramsitted using the usual ICY metadata update..

Note: don't use output.icecat(%wav, ..) for icecast sources!
Note: if CPU is not an issue, you also have output.icecast(%flac,..)
or output.icecast(%ogg(%flac),...) for a somewhat reduced bandwidth
usage..
