Hi,

If your primary stream isn't up, anyone connecting to your primary mount 
will automatically be rerouted to your backup mountpoint and will be pulled 
forward if someone connects to your primary mount *and* if 
fallback-override is set to 1.  So just link to your / mount and it should 
work OK.

Geoff.

Well, you'd have to link to a .m3u file that pointed to that mountpoint, 
but yes that all looks good.
