There are various existing projects, open and proprietary, but none really make full use of the potential, while being usable. The Icecast project should have its own reference configuration UI. Either from scratch or by adopting an existing open source project.

There are two possible approaches:

• Internal (somehow as part of /admin)
• External (running on a proper web server) The former would make it self-contained, while the latter would enable us to leverage an existing framework.

Both approaches need to be explored before a decision is made.

PS: Being fairly self-contained this would be potentially a very good GSoC or similar project. I am also sufficiently familiar with the config file and live config mechanics to mentor such a task.
