Access control / password / user management

In sc_serv.ini it says:

; Password. While SHOUTcast never asks a listener for a password...

I have a problem with that, since I have a need for making a webpage, where only registered users can hear the strem from my SHOUTcast server - whether it's on demand or live broadcast.

Since all links to the SHOUTcast streams are handled directly by the SHOUTcast server I have no change of restricted the access with server side user management, as I do in PHP for all the other content.

I cannot find a way to protect something as
http://myserveriport/listen.pls or http://myserveriport/content/ondemandfile.pls.

Please help - there must be a way to handle this problem.

There are several arguments to why access control is relevant. Copyrighted material, private audio streams etc. shouldn't be available just by knowing the right link! Perhaps I would set up a small news broadcast with info ONLY for a few registered persons. How do I do that?
