Sorry if my goal was a bit unclear here. The Icy stream filter will 
parse the icy data in the stream,
but for that it needs the initial Icy-Metaint header value.

Note that I am not talking about the Icy Protocol, which is a HTTP-like 
protocol currently handled
by the old http access. This has nothing to do with the Icy metadata 
stuff, it is a proprietary
thing SHOUTcast did and I think even they stop doing that in recent 
versions in favor of HTTP.

So yes, for the ICY protocol it would need a special access module in 
the future if we plan to get
rid of the oldhttp one.
