Hi David,
I definitely agree with your thougths. add_protocol is very
interesting. I will look into using it for this workflow:
- liquidsoap triggers the reload of the playlist (via the telnet command
or the configuration timeout)
- an external shell script is invoked that makes hard links of all
available files to a different directory;
- the list of files is returned to liquidsoap.
Making hard links instead of copying files will work better
since I have many GBs of tracks.

Thanks Romain, infact in the mean time I switched from
playlist.safe to playlist combined with a fallback to a blank() source.
Your quick and kind help is much appreciated. Liquidsoap is a
great piece of software.
Cheers,
