That's a good question, I haven't thought too deeply on that. So far
my testing has been rather basic. I simply check if the stream is
playable and I test server-load with a lot of wget processes.
Having a set of standard tests to find regressions is a very good
idea, but I'm not sure how to properly implement it. Given the nature
of multi-threaded programs it's probably impossible to have every test
execute exactly the same, but each run should have the same effects.

Looking at how fate does testing will probably a good starting point.

Thanks for the obvious suggestion I didn't think about!
