I believe so, yes. Create an SMIl file that looks similar to below:
<seq>
<audio src="rtsp://your.server.ip/encoder/live.rm">
<audio src="rtsp://your.server.ip/encoder/live.rm">
<audio src="rtsp://your.server.ip/encoder/live.rm">
<audio src="rtsp://your.server.ip/encoder/live.rm">
<audio src="rtsp://your.server.ip/encoder/live.rm">
<audio src="rtsp://your.server.ip/encoder/live.rm">
</seq>
(repeat the url as many times as you feel may be necessary)
What will happen is that if the live stream gets disconnected for whatever
reason, it'll just automatically jump to the next url in the sequence, which
would be either an actual file that is contained within the "encoder"
subdirectory (both of which you would create), OR the live stream, --
depending on whether or not the live stream has resumed by then or not.
Keep that "live.rm" file in the "\encoder" subdirectory at a short length,
and perhaps have it say something like "we are currently experienciing
technical difficultiy. Please stand by" ]

Subject: Auto Switching between Pre-recorded and Live
Hi all,
when a live stream is not present on the server the user picks up a file =
with an identical name and it will play on his player, however if in the =
mean time (while hes listening to the pre-recorded file) the specific =
live broadcast starts, is there a way for the server to automatically =
start pushing this content to the user without the user having to =
stop/start his player?
thanks,
