You can do that with Liquidsoap, but I don't know how good it would sound. If the codec and the bitrate are the same for input and output, I would hope that you do not experience any audible artifacts (since what has been thrown away before cannot be thrown away again) but I have not tested this. It might be that there is some generation loss; whether your audience can detect that additional loss is another matter. If you do hear noticeable degradation when encoding -> decoding -> encoding, this might be worth talking to the Opus team about. It may be that they did not intend Opus as a storage format for this kind of use. Given that any audio manipulation is likely to require decoding and re-encoding, it might be that Opus is only recommended for the final step of delivery to the listener. If you do not intend to do any manipulation of the audio, such as crossfades, or gain adjustments, then maybe Liquidsoap is overkill for your use case. For example Ices is said to forward Ogg Vorbis files from a playlist without re-encoding: http://www.icecast.org/docs/ices-2.0.0/config.html Cheers!
