I believe this functionality is only in trunk version of icecast (i.e. not 
2.0.2).  It may be that the docs for 2.0.2 are wrong, because I believe I 
added that capability (a more generalized implementation of the m3u 
generation that works with both mountpoints and static files) post 2.0.

hostname is definately a key part of m3u generation, but as I said before I 
don't think the m3u generation worked on static files in 2.0.2, only on 
mountpoints.
