TODO

• Jingles: Add a source on top of the regular playlist stream, that checks radioman for jingle schedules. This could be used for playing advertisements every 30min for example.
• Dynamic channel creation: Channels can't yet be created on the fly. Liquidsoap has to be restarted before new channels are registered to the system and start streaming. This is mainly an issue of Liquidsoap and will hopefully be possible in a future release.
