Note that it's not inevitable these days - emacs has fully async
sockets, where as far as I know (and was able to test with mpv),
neither connection nor reception should block, only cpu-bound
processing, which should be pretty liteweight in this case.

So I think it should be possible to do fully in elisp, and don't think
there are different standards for these tags - everything uses icy,
and did for more than a decade now, though haven't looked too closely,
and might be wrong.
