A mountpoint is a unique reference for a stream, which is needed if icecast is handling more than one stream at the same time. You can pretty much have anything you want for a mountpoint, the requirements are small, it must begin with a / and end with an extension appropriate to for the format (eg .ogg for ogg .aac for aac .nsv for nsv, although for mp3 you can get away with dropping the extension as many players assume that), and certain names are reserved eg /admin/. A simple example would be to indicate bandwidth usage.
/low.ogg
/high.ogg
