As far as I know, it just doesn't work that way -- the stream always

If you install the SLIMP3 server with you logged in, and configure it 
to start on boot while you're logged in, it should use the music 
library in your home directory.

I think you can probably do this with an Apache proxy (I read on this 
list that someone had done that before), but I regret to say I don't 
know how to do it.
