***fast pre-buffering aka burst-on-connect. <br>State a burst size in bytes to indicate how much should be sent at listener connect.
***mp3 accepts artist and title separately on the url.
***program invocation at stream start and end, per mount based.

***Added URL and command based listener authentication
***server xml reload, and reopen logging available via admin url
***slave startup re-organised so that relays are more independant
***on xml reload, active sources are updated as well
***When max-listeners reached, a HTTP 302 code can be sent to redirect clients to alternative slave hosts.
