Icecast - Feb 2005 - Noob question about starting stream

Dear All,  I have ices and icecast working together nicely, and I've set
up a test playlist while I get the rest of the site set up. However,
what I want to be able to do is start the playlist from the beginning
when a listener connects: this is so I can have an introductory station
announcement before starting the music. I've RTFM'd and can't see
how
to do this. I'm currently using ices 0.4. 

TIA !

A source client like ices 0.4 can feed to stream via icecast to many
listeners so ices itself should not react to new listener connections.

The concept of having a specified introductory file played at listener
connection to a stream is something I have in my branch of icecast and I
intend to merge that with the main release.
