Support Shoutcast DNAS2 server.

I use VLC to stream to Shoutcast Dnas V1.X and it works fine. It does not work with Shoutcast DNAS2 because some login information is not presented.

Full Details are located here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=78739

Also, I understand that VLC 1.0.6 was the last revision of that code. I was just pointing out it doesn't work from 9.9 to 1.1.0. =)

libshout does not support the "new" shoutcast protocol

There are no plans to add that either, as libshout is actually intended for streaming to Icecast, after Icecast became a thing. The name of the library just was never changed.

If Shoutcast DNAS2 support is wanted, a new sout module has to be written for that, for VLC. Though I would argue the usecase is very limited, VLC is not really a good source client, given that sout restarts for every item. So it is mostly useful for endless items like live inputs, but for this already other and better suited clients exist.

--sout-keep -> sout does not restart for every item.

TIL! That makes it more useful.

IIRC DNAS 2 is a quite complex thing, if anyone want to implement, sure. So maybe change to feature paradise and un-assign me (I have no desire to deal with the "fun" that DNAS 2 is)

If anyone wants to, the protocol details are documented in the SHOUTcast wiki, here.
