Thank you, but the buffering is not my problem, because I'm using a 
master-icecast-server which buffers the file only one time for all 
slave-icecast-servers. "liquidsoap" is not available for
windows!?

I'm using the versions from icecast.org.

Thanks so far

Read the documentation:

If you have to do file-based fallback, don't do fallback on the
master. Do it on the slaves.

Both configurations that I have posted are from the slave !
The <reply> is going the the master, the fallback is on the slave !

The problem is, using a mount with relay and a fallback on the slave! 
The option <fallback-override> is not working.

The salve is running version 2.4.1 of icecast from icecast.org.

What is the difference between these version? I think kh is the 
developer and this version is newer (or better?) There can I get this 
kh-version?
