Hi:

To do what you want to do, I highly recommend using the current SVN icecast
code and use the fallback override functionality.  This means that whenever
someone connects to your live mount, anyone who is listening via that mount
and is currently hearing the backup will automatically be pulled forward
again to the live mount.  It's very nice.

To achieve this, just put the following in the mount config for your live
mount, in addition to what you already have:

<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>

Good luck!

Geoff.
