Hi!
I want to make it possible to play mixed playlists (ogg and mp3) in my
program using libshout. A managing function could check for the
fileformat and switch shortly before sending to the icecast server.
Can I change the format on an already connected server?
Or is this only possible by disconnecting from server, switching and
reconnecting again?

no, you cannot do that. not only does libshout not support midstream codec changes, neither does icecast or any player AFAIK.

A simpler and frequently used method is reencoding files on the fly before sending to the server. This is the only working method for mixed playlists if you want not puzzling ice/shout servers ans all players...
