I agree for the most part - it just seems by the example, that you need mount 
tags to attach a stream at all.  Obviously in practice this is not the case, 
the entire block is optional.  This would be a good thing to point out.

I should also point out that I'm not personally having any trouble with
this,
I'm just trying to make life easier for Debian users who might install my 
packages, and others who might be confused.

Well.  The icecast mount stuff I would have thought would be pretty
self-explanatory in the config file.  They're used to do stuff that's an
exception to the general stuff defined above..  As for the ices user stuff,
yeah the ices configs are somewhat out of date as examples.  I've been
meaning to ask about the username for the source for ages, but never
remembered.  It's possible that there are other undocumented tags in the
ices XML format.   I guess I should find some time to create some better
sample configs and submit a patch.

Alright, I was able to recompile ices2beta, which connects to icecast, but
now I'm getting:
WARN playlist-builtin/playlist_read Corrupt or missing data in file

When I try to play a basic playlist with 2 files (that are fine, and do
exist).  I have set the sample and nominal bitrates at 256000, which is
also the encoding for the song...

Does the bitrate of the song have to be exactly the same as in the
ices.xml?  This might present a little problem with playing songs recorded
at different bitrates, as well as variable bitrates...so I'm gurssing this
cannot be?

Thanks!
