What's to say that the audio streams can't be carried over v6? The
encoders weren't streaming over v6 this last time but the icecast server
that was employed for 69 and 70 has a AAAA record and the application is
listening on all 3 of it's v6 addresses...

Some people actually used v6 to retrieve the stream probably without
knowing they were and I didn't hear screaming except when I broke them
on Tuesday.
