The internal support for playlist and scheduling in liquidsoap is not 
necessarily fited for complex setups.

If you need a complex scheduling of your sources, we generaly recommend using 
request.dynamic. Such a source will run a script every time it needs to add a 
new song (approx. 5sec before the end of the current song by default). The 
script can be either defined in the liquidsoap script or outside of it.

If you really want to avoid scripting outside of liquidsoap, you may be able 
to write your playlist/scheduling rules in your script. However, 
request.dynamic is probably what you need in any case..
