Always alive streams?

Hi, I've been using SC for about 6 months for a work project. So far its been working great but there were a few small things that I wanted to add to give the broadcast a bit of a more professional feel.

Just today I added and IntroFile and BackupFile. They work great (i.e. no chipmunks) but not exactly as I had hoped they would. Mainly I was hoping that they would server to act as content that people could listen to even when the broadcast source wasn't active. (i.e. if I wasn't broadcasting listeners could still start the stream, hear the IntroFile and then the BackupFile until I started streaming to the server.)

Some background info: We have a server hosted at our Data Center that's running the SCserver 24/7 as a service. I've done that just for simplicity on my end. We actually only broadcast for 1-2 hour(s) per week.

What I'm looking for is a way to keep the audio stream from the server active even when I'm not connected and broadcasting. That way if a listener connects before I start broadcasting they will hear the intro and some music while they wait, then when I start it will streaming my live feed.

Is this possible, if so, how?
