I am running icecast_win32_2.4_beta4.zip

The error.log reports:

"WARN format/format.c Unsupported or legacy stream type: "audio/mpeg". Falling back to generic minimal handler for best effort."

The encoder is Sam Broadcaster's option marked:
"MP3 (LAME_ENC) [Recommended]"

Does Icecast not recognize LAME MP3 or certain variations/versions of LAME MP3?

Is Icecast's performance less optimal if it falls back to generic minimal handler?

mp3 is patented so icecast passes it through as-is with no processing. This is what is known as the minimal handler. This is just to let you know what it has detected.
