Hi,
I just grabbed and installed the latest CVS source yesterday, and 
everything is ok except Multi-channel support.

I created two playlists initially, one called "All Music" and one called 
"Christmas Channel".
In the obs.xml file I created channel definitions for both of these 
channels, and restarted obs. Both channels are created and the songs get 
added to them, all looks good. I can listen to the first channel, All 
Music, and it works fine, indefinately. The Christmas Channel on the 
other hand isn't so smooth. I can listen to the first song added to the 
mixer, but after that song, freeamp buffers the stream and then stops, 
telling me "skipped corrupted file". The funny thing is, by all other 
accounts everything is fine. Through the web interface and in the 
obs.log file I can see that the Christmas Channel is still streaming 
it's songs one after another, and there is no indication of any trouble 
in obs.log or icecast.log.
Any idea what's gone wrong?

I also have a question about the way multiple channels work. I found 
that they are really just big playlists (just like the readme told me 
:). But they're even more like playlists then I realized. When the 
channel is loaded, the playlist is loaded in straight alphabetically 
order, which is pretty dull. I found I could manually randomize it by 
seleting all the tracks and hitting randomize, but I guess what I was 
hoping for was that the channels would behave like sub-Play Queues or 
something. I thought it would lock the first two songs in the mixer, and 
then (if someone hasn't added to the queue manually) pull songs at 
random, from the playlist that defines the channel.
I found that I could define "Play Queue" as a channel and get the old 
functionality of a Play Queue, but what about having multiple Play 
Queues, as channels, with filtered inputs so they only add tracks from a 
specific playlist. Is this possible?

Thanks!
  JGoins
