Hi Geoff, Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. I've just tried it and of course it works. Then I discovered that when the original source is not connected icecast doesn't fall through to the fallback mount. Is this a known problem?

Then I discovered that when the original source is not connected icecast doesn't fall through to the fallback mount. Is this a known problem?yes it is, for the v2.0.1 release. The trunk code (ie for 2.1) has a more complete fallback support. wrt your original query, I'm not aware of any plans to add such a feature but I suspect it can be added without too much grief, whether it will before 2.1 is released is another matter. karl.
