XML is not really a very human friendly format, despite being
"readable". Unfortunately this is what was chosen for the Icecast
configuration. Also I have yet to see a configuration file format that
satisfies "human readable", "easy", "allows defining complex use cases".

I'd strongly recommend installing notepad++ for editing the file. It's a
simple but very helpful editor. It will give you color hilighting for
the sections. That makes it easy to see which parts will be ignored
(instead of looking for <!-- --> bracketing manually)

Beware, you are limiting the Icecast server to TWO active mountpoints.
If you try a third connection it will fail.

I hope that's not your real password. In case it is, please change it.

As already pointed out by Unosonic, there is currently no defined
<mount>. Connecting using the source-password will make it appear on the
fly, but there are no special settings applied.
You can create mountpoints by adding the earlier mentioned sections. The
only important thing is that this must be outside of sections enclosed
by <!-- -->.
