[Icecast] Serving a playlist.pls / listen.m3u file

Hi - I've heard that Icecast provides a fake "playlist file" along the lines of

http://blahblah:8000/listen.m3u
 or
http://blahblah:8000/playlist.pls

because Quicktime can't seem to handle the stream without a playlist
file to wrap it up. (There may be other reasons.) However, I can't
seem to find any documentation about this, and guessing various URLs
on my icecast2.0.1 port comes up with nothing.

Is there such a thing? I can't get my "raw" http://blahblah:8000
stream to open in Quicktime... Perhaps there's a config setting that's
relevant here?

Thanks
Dan
