+Libshout is a library for communicating with and sending data to an
+icecast server. It handles the socket connection, the timing of the
+data, and prevents bad data from getting to the icecast server.
+
+With just a few lines of code, a programmer can easily turn any application
+into a streaming source for an icecast server. Libshout also allows
+developers who want a specific feature set (database access, request taking)
+to concentrate on that feature set, instead of worrying about how server
+communication works.
+
+Libshout is an optional dependency for mpd and has an optional requirement
+for speex, both of which are available at SlackBuilds.org.
