Ah. Since my knowledge of the language used by LiquidSoap sucks at this
time, I missed it.

How many songs does this function request? Reason for asking is that the
script I made to feed songs to the player assumes the song that is
returned by my script is the one currently playing, but that's not the case.

So I will need to figure out how to publish the song that Liquidsoap is
currently playing to the website. (This is normally done by my request
script).

Great. Seems like audio=true is required anyhow, since leaving it out or
setting it to false causes "Thread 3 killed on uncaught exception
Assert_failure("tools/utils.ml", 23, 46)"

Yes, actually I looked there but failed to recognize the change to
request.create. Small examples on using these functions would also help
alot. ;)

Thanks sofar, I got most of these things working now. Getting Savonet to
run on FreeBSD is a royal PITA, btw. But that's another story.
