I know. My comment was to explain that if you don't or can't, I fully
understand why.

That's something to check. But what does "correct" mean? Do you mean
it has to match the stream's overall sample rate? It doesn't always.
The stream runs at 128kbps. Some of the things get transcoded from
other bit-rates, like 192-, 256, and even 320kbps. If they would
normally generate these kinds of messages, then I'll just ignore them.
But if Icecast or EZStream is generating them, can these emails be
turned off completely?
