What is SHOUTcast?
SHOUTcast is a audio homesteading solution. It permits anyone on the internet
to broadcast audio from their PC to listeners across the Internet or any
other IP-based network (Office LANs, college campuses, etc.).
SHOUTcast's underlying technology for audio delivery is MPEG Layer 3,
also known as MP3 technology. The SHOUTcast system can deliver audio in
a live situation, or can deliver audio on-demand for archived broadcasts.
For more information regarding SHOUTcast, please visit their homepage

Quick facts:
To find how many users you are limited to, you simply divide the max outgoing
transfer limit by the bit rate you are streaming at.
ie: 256 / 24 = 10.67.
Rounded down to 10 max users.
The higher you set your bit rate the less users you can hold. To increase
your user limit, decrease the bit rate. Bit rates can be changed on the
fly, while streaming.
