I'm not sure what you are asking for. So I try to give a little bit of
info, maybe it helps already:

There is nothing special about relays at all. Icecast config is exactly
as for any other stream. The only things is that a <relay>-tag is added
to start the corresponding internal source client (which replaces an
external source client).

As nothing else is different there are also no different requirements.
:)

Also, not fully sure what you mean by "temporary directory" as Icecast
does not write any temp files at all. (In fact it is completely safe to
operate it on a read-only filesystem.)


With best regards,
