 This is what I used to stream to an icecast relay with ffmpeg 4.0.5:

 {{{
 ffmpeg -f x11grab -probesize 8000000 -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 60 -i
 :0 -an -c:v libvpx-vp9 -r 60 -pix_fmt yuv420p -keyint_min 60 -g 60 -qmin 0
 -qmax 63 -b:v 3M -minrate:v 3M -maxrate:v 3M -bufsize 3M -deadline
 realtime -quality realtime -tile-columns 6 -threads:v 4 -speed 8 -cpu-used
 8 -static-thresh 0 -max-intra-rate 10000 -frame-parallel 1 -f webm
 -cluster_size_limit 2M -cluster_time_limit 5000 -content_type video/webm
 icecast://source:hackme@${IP}/test.webm
 }}}

 However, since 4.1, icecast will kick ffmpeg with:
 {{{
 EBML Header too large, failing
 }}}

 By default, Icecast restricts the EBML header to 131072 bytes.

 I have recompiled Icecast to increase the value and I am now able to
 stream with ffmpeg master.

 I am reporting this to both ffmpeg and icecast as I am not sure which of
 the two projects should make changes.
