This is a convenient feature, used by me & other live streamers to 
archive their streams. (I already got some people e-mailing me why this 
can't be done using darkice & icecast2, while the possibility is there 
with icecast 1.x).

Which libvorbis API calls should I use to close a logical stream and 
open a new one? (Currently I create one physical / logical stream, but I 
don't know which calls do the physical and which do the logical stream 
part.)
