Right. Thanks for that clarification!

Well what I really need from Liquidsoap is really a constant stream of
silence. Our Ad Insertion Tool acts on the Icecast Server rather on the
Source, since it's per-mountpoint based and we have 100's of Icecast
relays. Have a listen here:
http://ch-be01-ice.dmd2streaming.com:8080/gmaare_blank.mp3.m3u this is the
'stream' that - all 2 minutes - broadcasts an ad.

So, that being said, I just need a reliable source that sends silence to
the icecast server and keeps the mountpoint connected to the source, this
without loads of error-log entries :)
