+ezstream is a command line utility which is a improved version of the old
+"shout" utility. It enables you to stream mp3 or vorbis files to an icecast
+server without reencoding and thus requires very little CPU. ezstream is
+controlled via a XML config file (a few examples are provided in the conf
+directory).
+
+ezstream can stream mp3, ogg vorbis, and ogg theora files as well as reading
+from stdin. ID3v1 tags are supported in mp3 files and all ogg vorbis tags are
+propagated as metadata as well.
