[icecast] alias mount points

[MacSym]

Whao! That could be amazing. I mean, it could allow me to share my server
with friends. The patch Geoff is talking about is close to my idea but I
don't want my listeners to switch on mountpoint B if mountpoint A is
offline. My idea is to have 3 (or more) different and independent
mountpoints, running different radios. If a friend wants to add his radio
(or show), he could just ask me to enter his login/pass/mountpoint
information into the DB and he would be ready to connect his source (without
having to restart Icecast).

Cheers,

Macsym

We already have this for listeners (it uses a flat-file backend, storing 
usernames and md5sums of passwords - but the design is such that a database 
backend could also be done fairly easily).

Extending it to be usable for sources should be reasonably straightforward.
