Is not so easy to fill a bug for icecast ...
I have submitted a subscription to bugtracker gitlab
https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server/-/issues
some time ago but without response.

I have written a bug report to this list with little attachments and
was rejected:

I am waiting from  08 Oct

Now I send this message without attachments:

Greetings to the Icecast developer community, We have been using
icecast for about 20 years successfully for our FM radio station in
Italy. Now we also use icecast for transfer to DAB+ transmitters, we
consider it useful to use fallback configurations. We have problems on
our production server (Debian, icecast 1.4) and we are testing on a
Fedora with the latest icecast commit from git.
To stream we use darkice 1.5 with ogg vorbis stereo 44100Hz 96Khz
stream and a fallback oga file with the same characteristics.
To listen, we use audacious, VLC, firefox but here ogg123.
To replicate the problem this is the sequence:
* start icecast
* start player
* start darkice
* stop darkice
* start darkice

The player start with fallback file, go to stream, go to fallback file,
do not return to stream any more.
To return to stream we need to restart the player; with other player
the behaviour is sometime different but ever problematic.

Attached you can find icecast configuration file, errorlog and
accesslog for the icecast git version.

At last I cannot find documentation for the fallback_override
configuration option none,all,own.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Paolo
