A potential gotcha I just discovered: iTunes is slightly confusing as 
regards its MP3 encoding bitrates: if you encode in mono, you need to 
specify the 'Stereo Encoding Bitrate" as TWICE the mono bitrate you 
want! Our mono theme music has been running at 8kbs rather than the 
16kbps I thought it was, which is why OUR fallback stream has been 
dropping every time our live feed connects.

only 2 sources are allowed, so make sure you don't hit that limit.

a bit excessive really, most people can get away with 1 or 2

no override set, so just a fallback. All listeners on / will be moved to
/backup if that is active at the time the fallback occurs.  The
error.log should state any problem like /backup not connecting.
