Having mp3's in the playlist won't work well:). It's not supposed to stop
ices though, same for non-existent files. I'll have to check that.  The
swallow all my CPU sounds like the send_raw bug.  Does it also show an
increased memory usage as well?

It's a very nasty bug, but only occurs if the connection to icecast
terminates unexpectedly, eg ctrl-C icecast or if the time on the ices
machine changes significantly.  Try the attached patches if that's
the issue.

hould be indefinite (unless you have a limit like once through
playlist).
