fallback-mount
This optional value specifies a mountpoint that clients are
automatically moved to if the source shuts down or is not streaming at
the time a listener connects. Only one can be listed in each mount and
should refer to another mountpoint on the same server that is
streaming in the _same streaming format_.
I was thinking that "same streaming format" referred to
bitrate/channels, etc. Perhaps it means mp3 or ogg.

Also note that MP3 is not officially supported and MP3 related requests
are largely ignored. It may or may not work for you. If not: your
problem.</pre>

I recommend you to use any Ogg based codec as it would solve your
problem perfectly (changing bitrates) and is supported, well tested,
much better on all technical aspects and there are no license problems.</pre>

Understood. But the hosts at the radio station are not very
technical and they are not very teachable. The player must operate
under OSX, and the hosts are used to iTunes (which I despise) as the
player. Perhaps it is possible to teach iTunes under OSX to play
ogg. But of course that will be another unsupported combination. See
here for a discussion about iTunes and ogg:

Or maybe I should set up a small unused laptop with Linux and put a
player on it, and have it always on, but hidden away on a shelf, and
connect the output of the laptop to the broadcast console. I must
think about this. <br>
