It makes no difference what your source client is.

You don't need to create a mountpoint definition in the Icecast config 
file in order to connect to a mountpoint, if you use the global source 
password.

But if you want mountpoint-specific settings, you will need to create a 
mountpoint-specific section in your Icecast config file for your 
mountpoint.

So, for example, if you connect to /stream.ogg, you could add the 
following to your icecast.xml file:

     <mount>
         <mount-name>/stream.ogg</mount-name>
         <intro>intro.ogg</intro>
     </mount>


HTH,
