[icecast] syntax for playlist

[Thomas Spellman]

The directory I use to store my music files is owned and read/writable only by 
the user icecast.  I "su - icecast" to log in as icecast, and have 
/home/icecast as my main icecast directory, so I can do "bin/start_icecast" 
(a shell script with commandline options) and "bin/start_ices".

Hope this helps.
