m3u is just a playlist format, not an audio codec like mp3. It is typically downloaded by a browser and used to start a player, the entry inside the m3u is the actual stream url. Another format often used is pls but those are not automatically generated by icecast but it's possible to create one and place it in webroot.

The link for the automatically generated m3u is just the stream url with .m3u added after it, so if it's /stream.mp3.m3u then the actual stream is at /stream.mp3
The source client or relay should specify the mountpoint the stream is on.
