If you're having the same problem that I'm having, then I might
be able to help.

It's almost as if the audio were sliced up into one-second bits
(which it probably is), but the last half of the second plays
before the first half.

It only happens on live streams, and I've only noticed it on
live streams from the BBC.  (I live in the US)

I do have a file that looks like it suffers from the same
problem:

<http://www.needsfoodbadly.com/garbled.ogg>
<http://www.needsfoodbadly.com/ungarbled.ogg>

(you don't know how hard it is to track down a bootleg copy of
something that you deleted when you bought the CD.)

Anyways, it seems to clear up at the end, but every time that I
experience it, it doesn't clear up and I have to reinit the
stream.
