Description:
This service implements basic support for icecast RadioVIS visualization 
(text and image).
The RadioVIS standard is part of the RadioDNS project 
(http://www.radiodns.org) and works by querying the service records of 
the servers RadioVIS extension with the fully qualified domain name 
(FQDN) and service identifier (SID) of the icy-url to acquire topic and 
url for the correlating STOMP server, if it has been implemented.
RadioDNS is the next step for a more feature rich radio listening 
experience, which will probably be more and more common, as multiple 
hardware manufactures are starting to add functionality for newer devices.

As by now, messages (text and image) are shown as notifications, since 
containers for them are not present in the skin layouts (only 
possibility would be cover art and title/artist, but these are too small 
to show a detailed picture
with info on it). This prototype is primarily meant for add-on 
developers to try out RadioVIS functionality and for XBMC developers to 
maybe define some space for additional radio infos in the skin classes.

Some of the STOMP message handling code is taken out of BBCs RadioVIS 
demo application (available at https://github.com/bbcrd/RadioVisDemo)
