Its another Debian problem: the icecast2 package in Debian is ogg only.

In Debian, icecast is compiled with encrypted passwords option.

OK, I've verified that its not a password problem now. The mp3cast~ 
documentation doesn't seem to mention this.

BTW, thanks for your reply regarding the -nogui option and setting dsp 1. I've 
just read it on the PD-list archive (as I seem to have intermittent mail 
delivery from PD-list!) and added it to my patch. Its obviously important, 
but I still can't connect to my mp3 streams :-(

Cheers,
Richard
