Re: [Savonet-users] safe harbor...

ok, to answer my question...:

input.http seems to be appropriate.
...
test = input.http(id="test", autostart=false, buffer=15., max=30., "http://127.0.0.1:8000/test")
radio = [ live, test, playlist, file ]
...

i connect to the (public) icecast IP with a source client,
do some custom checks (curl) if the stream is available at 
that mountpoint, i.e. test, then i use my php/telnet wrapper to
execute test.start/stop/status over a mobile web page, with some 
error handling. the default buffer size of 2sec was way to low, 
caused repeated drops fallbacks because of empty buffer. 15sec seems stable.
