You're probably right there - but I also don't think icecast is really a core 
part of the "Xiph mission". The 'core' part of Xiph projects is to provide 
free and open multimedia codecs, in my opinion. 

We also do lots of application-level software - ranging from vorbis-tools, to 
icecast, to cdparanoia. This stuff helps us to get exposure for the core 
codecs, but is not really an end in itself.

(Opinions above are mine, not neccesarily Xiph's - but when I work on things 
like vorbis and icecast, that's what I think).
