I think that should be possible, you just set it up as normal.

You'd need to configure the fallback-related items inside <mount>, not
<relay>. But I'm not sure quite what you're trying to do. Is it:
 a) Relay some remote stream. If that stream isn't available, fall
back to relaying a different remote stream.
or
 b) Relay some remote stream. If that stream isn't available, fall
back to a different local mountpoint.

I think b should work as I described. a) you could do, but it'd be more complex.
