IIRC Karl Heyes' version gained attention as a result of being specified 
by PRONET Licensing and their predecessor for their royalty tracking and 
US music licensing service - https://pronetlicensing.com/ - presumably 
KH provides stats that aren't otherwise available. The PRONET web site 
is a bit impenetrable and out of date, but I note:

"What kind of streaming servers is your service compatible with?
Answer: Shoutcast 1 and Shoutcast 2 and Icecast-KH servers only. 
(Icecast 2 (non-KH) version 2.4.2 due out in early 2015 will also be 
supported.)"

...but whether they actually implemented regular Icecast 2.4.2 support I 
don't know.  It would be worth finding out what it is about the KH 
branch that make PRONET require it, as there is only one other internet 
radio licensing service around (Live365) and you can't use your own 
streaming server with them.
