Users can now configure and rebroadcast remote live input streams from the Web, DJ programs, or smartphone applications used by broadcast journalists.

Also fixed is dragging and dropping tracks into a live show, which could cause to Web UI to become unsynchronized from what is actually playing. Users are now able to receive mono streams for Master or Show source broadcasts, and Soundcloud uploads are now working for all users.
