Can't change name of podcast feed

On our new site in development, berkeleycov.wpengine.com, I'd like the podcast feed to be audio/sermons.xml. The intention is that when the new site is ready and we redirect our domain name, the feed will have the same name it has always had: http://www.berkeleycov.org/aud.....ermons.xml.

But when I set the public podcast feed in Sermon Browser's options page, there is no effect. New sermons are listed at the same address as before: http://berkeleycov.wpengine.com/?podcast. How can I rename the podcast feed as described in the first paragraph above?

I'm not sure that's quite what the public/private podcast feed options does.

On my setup, I've go the 'public' url set to a feed burner link. So I input the raw /?podcast feed into feedburner, clean up some settings there, and then use the 'public feed' setting so that listeners subscribe to the feedburner link rather than the direct/raw sermon browser feed. I don't think that the 'public feed' option tells sermonbrowser to create another version of the podcast feed in a different location.

What you need to do is somehow replicate the file created by sermonbrowser and have a copy sitting at audio/sermons.xml. I'm not familiar enough with how sermonbrowser creates the podcast feed - is this something that could be done through a symbolic link, or redirection, or will you need to write a little script that regularly copies the sermonbrowser feed over to sermons.xml?

I think I see what you mean about the addresses. It seems that the address entered as the public podcast feed is the address that appears in the fourth line of the feed:

atom:link href="http://berkeleycov.wpengine.com/?podcast" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml

(I've omitted the surrounding angle brackets in the line quoted above.) So, as you say, it appears I need to arrange for the audio/sermons.xml address to be linked or redirected to the private podcast feed, which is http://berkeleycov.wpengine.com/?podcast.

I'm just learning about Wordpress, so I hope someone can suggest how to set up that audio/sermons.xml address as an alias for the RSS feed.
