Hi: I've upgraded 2 icecast servers from October checkouts to current CVS and noticed a lot of new stuff. got a query about a feature in the config file. <queue-size>102400</queue-size>>From a thread on icecast-dev, I gather this is to do with how much audio isstored in icecast to shove to clients when they connect, right? But what does this number represent?

This is the maximum length of the client queue, in bytes. Thus, if a client falls behind by more than this (100 kB by default), it is disconnected - this usually means the client is not capable of receiving data fast enough to listen to it, due to network problems.

So how does this relate to client-timeout ... or is that for something else?
