Hey Chris,
Ices is ices0.3 or ices2? If it's ices0.3, then you need to do (curl |
oggdec | lame | ices), because it's awaiting mp3 input, not raw pcm.

I'm using ices2, because this particular listener
(curl | oggdec | ices2) has to reencode from OGG high bitrate to OGG low
bitrate.
The fallback is on the main source (I have only one fallback).
For mp3 transcoding, I'm using streamTranscoder.

Main source: http://radio.stalig.com:443/radio-bro-gwened-ori.ogg
reencoded OGG:
http://radio.stalig.com:443/radio-bro-gwened-16.ogg
http://radio.stalig.com:443/radio-bro-gwened.ogg
http://radio.stalig.com:443/radio-bro-gwened-64.ogg
reencoded to mp3:
http://radio.stalig.com:443/radio-bro-gwened.mp3
(very bad, but mp3 is here just to have some mp3 in case of the listener is
under Mac OS9 or don't have the idea to try an OGG player)
All this is under testing only.

When the main source is switch to the fallback, this should be transparent for
all the other sources. So with one fallback, I feed all the sources.
The fallback is completly different in quality than the original source. This is
perhaps why oggdec is having trouble. Then perhaps he die, and when the (curl
| oggdec | ices2) starts again, the source is absent and it waits for it... I
think this is the problem.

Good introduction to a new question:
When a source is down, should we connect new listeners to the fallback source? 

(fallback source for the main source above:
http://radio.stalig.com:443/radio-bro-gwened-default.ogg)

I forgot to mention that the patched version seams to work fine, except that one
of the listener (curl | oggdec | ices)
don't like the source content change. I have to search for that.
