I have no idea, but there's one way to find out.  Run the program under 
strace like so

strace -f -o prog.trace program arg1 arg2

You'll then have a trace of the system calls made when running 
"program arg1 arg2" in prog.trace.  Look for the "open" system 
call or the "icecast.conf" filename.  You'll see every directory 
it looks for the file and in what order it searches those directories.
