[Icecast] ices 0.4 can't find playlists...

[Chris Woodfield]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding ices' capabilities...is ices 0.4 only 
capably of handling a single playlist? Do I need to run multiple 
instances of ices in order to process multiple playlists?

My issue is that I need to stream mp3 audio, not ogg (iTunes doesn't 
support .ogg yet natively), and if I'm reading the docs correctly, 
ices2 only supports .ogg, not .mp3. Is this correct, and if so, are 
there other options?

Thanks,

-Chris
