Icecast - Aug 2004 - Adding more to stats.xml WAS:Source XML for status.xsl

/me grumbles about upcoming finals:

I note that the mountpoint entry displays the current songs title and artist, 
but not the album. In the particular case of my station, album is often more 
important (recognizable) as there are a variety of pop/classical artists who 
do music for anime. So I'd like to add an album nature but am going to need
a
quick overview on how stats.xml is generated.

Also, is there a way to pull down the track's total length, and the time 
remaining/elapsed on the current track? Is this information even available 
through icecast or does it have to somehow come from iceS?

--thanks

Currently the sources send information like genre, artist, title, num. 
of listeners and some more metadata.
Maybe a good implementation would be, that someone can freely define 
additional metadata which
then would be displayed via the stats.xml or some other XSL-Page.
