Stream password with special characters fails to login

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Stream to a shoutcast server with password using a "#" character
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should work fine, but server returns "wrong password"

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
When deleting the # char from the password, all works fine.

At the moment I did not yet test other server software or other special 
characters, as the affected server was not mine and I first need to build a 
test environment.

This was reported 3 years ago, will this ever be fixed? If not, can a note added in example config that special characters do not work? It helps avoid useless time debugging the issue?
