Icecast - Aug 2004 - yp.icecast.org || when does your stream come into the db?

I thought somewhere buried deep in the icecast.conf that
one can turn this option on, if you type in
http://194.109.227136:8000 in your browser, it will fire up
your favourite mp3 client, and the stream will start
playing. 

*duh*, sorry, I haven't set this up yet. I'm still amazed
my stream in working, I still need to tweak it. 

A while back, from the archives, I saw someone had offered
his sample icecast.conf for all to look at. Sadly, it
appears that the site, www.njfr.org, is still down. 

Does anyone else have a working icecast.conf?

cheers,

b.

If you're clicking on the URL such that it launches a web browser then
you're going about it the wrong way.  That URL needs to be opened as a
location in your MP3 player (e.g. ctrl-L in winamp).  If you want to click
on a link in a web browser, you will need to make a PLS or M3U file with
the location data in it so that this is downloaded and opened by your
player.

Great - now we're getting somewhere. I can't find any
information about these file types on Icecast or
shoutcast's web sites. 

Where can I find information about their structure?

Thanks
