It seems Icecast does not indicate a live stream duration as infinity, 
so players don't know that the stream is live.  Is there a way to make 
Icecast indicate a stream is live/infinity duration?

I do see that when the player first connects to the stream it gets an 
Infinity value but it does not persist:
