You are welcome. :)

Any hope of having it fixed in Squeeze?

I'm still trying to understand if liquidsoap is a good way to do what
I want.  Not sure I want to spend to much time on the development of
the tool until I know it is worth my while.

Perhaps you can tell me if liquidsoap make sure the generated stream
is continous, even if it is told to switch streamed ogg file before
the file is completely streamed.

We have tried with vlc and ezstream without the luck so far, and are
looking for a tool that allow us to create a web based open channel.
We have a list of ogg files and a schedule when they should air, and
in between we need to generate a program listing and run som fillers.
The schedule and meta information is fetched using SOAP from the web
application handling uploads and scheduling.

Is liquidstream the right tools for this?

Happy hacking,
