Well, someone else asked for this. I may add this option later. But
really, it doesn't seem like the best way to do things. You don't want
to set up and tear down your connection to the icecast server every
track.

Ices will reload the playlist file if it changes on disk. So if the
file changes every track, everything will be fine. Alternatively you
could write your MP3 to a FIFO, which ices could pipe to your icecast
server.
