Good catch! Of course, this is not specified anywehere, its a
proprietary protocol...
I have read in some places that shoutcast uses latin1 by default and
that's why I set it the default for the ICY protocol.

In fact, reading the code (which is factorized in
tools/icecast_utils.ml) it seems that latin1 is the default for the
ICY protocol no matter what. I think this is a rather recent change
(couple of months), before that it was only latin1 for ICY and
shoutcast. Did you try with a recent version?
