That won't work, and unfortunately I haven't had chance to move various
bits into cvs yet, however I do have code you can use.

My mods to libshout/ices2 will support multiple save files, using a
duration marker or metadata update (ie USR1 in live mode) as the
trigger.

The code is on www.xiph.org/~karl, you'll need the libshout on there as
well as the savefile is not the only thing different. Look at the
examples in the conf directory to see the xml layout.
