Ok, but I've seen this feature on a Barix Instreamer's, it's because I was
asking. Like :
- Streaming mode : send on level
- Trigger level
- Pre-trigger start in ms
- Post-trigger stop in ms
When the box is on without sending level detected, the mountpoint is up
but there's no total_bytes_read on the server.
When sending level is detected, transfert begin (total_bytes_read is up).
I think the difference is that this box retry to connect to Icecast every
5 or 10 seconds with a blank stream.
That's a good mecanism I think, than disconnecting on blank, to let show
if the settings are ok and the streamer up.

Actually, during streaming silence or music (with input alsa), the amount
of data transferred to Icecast is the same.

I'll try to do this !
