Icecast Howto For OpenBSD, Easily adaptable to Linux

This Icecast howto for Openbsd is a small tutorial I made to setup the radio to stream multiple streams to internal and external addresses. You may need to modify the scripts to work on linux, but once you do, you can stream cool things to asterisk.
