Icecast Streaming Media Server

Is Icecast capable of serving audio on demand?

For example, User1 starts playing the stream and it starts at the beginning. 5 minutes later, while User1 is still listening, User2 starts the stream and it starts at the beginning.

on-demand access is possible, but it's not timed based on the audio content, just place the file in question in the webroot directory.

But that just makes the mp3 available for download just as a normal web server would---I can't stream it like that?

I guess I figured it out:

Just create a text file with the URL of the mp3 file and save it as an m3u file. The client should then stream the file instead of downloading it.

If you put that mp3 as mountpoint intro file, it will be played from start for every listener.
