Yeah, I've already done that. (I consider the source a perfectly
sufficient documentation. :)

I wrote this letter to suggest you to change the example file (which is
misleading).

Yes it does, but it's sometimes needed for radio streaming.

Yes, I know that :) I consider myself a programmer.
But a few more lines in the config file would not hurt...
...you see, it's not documentation, because it's a functional part
of the system.
