                 <input>
                         <module>playlist</module>
                         <param name="type">script</param>
                         <param name="program">/path/to/script</param> 
<!-- be

                 </input>

Note that this is how you'd configure ices 2.x.  Ices 0.x which uses 
ices.conf has a different script mechanism.  I believe recent (SVN?) 
versions support basic scripts like this, previous versions required 
scripts to be written in perl or python and to have various methods 
defined.
