It happened at 16:30 today. The stream was
"audio/x-pn-multirate-realaudio-live". I have just heard it again on
Radio 4 and this time although it went wrong for 20s or so, it
recovered. I must admit I am confused. I am wondering whether my
internet connection was particularly busy at the time and the packets
were being dropped locally. I will keep testing and see if it happens
again.

Thanks for all your work on this. Incidently the application for this
is a plugin for the SlimDevices Squeeze box (www.slimdevices.com)
called AlienBBC.
