Monitoring & silence detection
So we could monitor the status of our radio stream and alert us by email if our stream is down, the presence of dead air or if no source is connected.

It might be good practice to add a silence detection mechanism for incoming live streams. When the incoming stream is not disconnected and broadcasting silence, the station stays silent.
This can easily be implemented with Liquidsoap, but you might want to make the silence threshold and duration configurable in the UI. See example below:
```
# Switch to fallback if live source is silen -

Buster Neece Admin MergedWe previously added silence detection automatically for all streams, but we received a number of reports that the silence detection was either not working correctly and causing erroneous fading, or that Liquidsoap was using an unexpectedly high amount of CPU.
If we are able to bring it back, it will likely be as an opt-in only option, so that users can weigh the possible downsides when choosing to enable it. -

Loh Boon Keat MergedFor me, if this feature been implement, it will be grate. The sound when changing the song from 1 to another is more better. I like that feature.

Speedy Charly MergedAgreed - having no silence removal actually renders the crossroad feature null and void...

Moonbase59In the studios, I still use a [modified version of SilentJack](https://github.com/Moonbase59/silentjack), together with some DBUS and MQTT magic to signal a buzzer and a flashing light in the studio tower. Having a silence detection on the actual server would be a great addition!
