Does anyone know how many separate streams/mount-points icecast supports? I wasn't able to find an answer on Mr. Google or the icecast docs.

Seems like icecast has no stream restrictions and therefore the only things limiting the possible amount of concurrent streams are the OS, the hardware you use and icecast's configuration as stated here.

Excerpt from here and here:

Question:

Is there a theoretical maximum to the number of mountpoints icecast can handle?

Answer:

As for limits: yes, but it'll be highly platform specific, and is not a limit in icecast itself. You'll probably first hit either a limit on the number of threads permitted (one per source, plus a few for the rest of icecast), or the limit on open file descriptors (one per source, plus one per client, plus a few for the rest of icecast)
