RB Cloud fallback mount point

Dmitry:
Would you please consider adding an additional icecast "fallback" mountpoint to the RBC server so that Radiocaster streams from a radio station can live stream as well as remote users:

NORMAL stream:  RBCloud  /autodj
FALLBACK1 mountpoint: /studio  [program from studio using RadioCaster takes priority over /autodj]
FALLBACK2 mountpoint: /live [stream from remote users using RadioBoss takes priority over /studio and /audtodj]

This feature is currently supported in Icecast and would be of value to any radio station seeking to operate remotely under covid-19 restrictions.
 
We don't use fallbacks in RadioBOSS Cloud for various reasons (most important is low reliability, sometimes listeners are not properly switched between mounts). Adding two live sources with priorities is an interesting idea though and we'll consider implementing it in the future.
 
That?s great Dmitry - if it does what is needed then I?m all in favour!  This would elevate RBC into a very attractive option for remote broadcasters and I hope others would agree too.
