Winamp Stops.

[nirkman]

I run a Shoutcast server for several clients. Here is the issue: clients are reporting that their listeners are getting drop outs.

At first glance, this seems simple - network issues. But here is the kicker: there are no rebuffering issues, and when listening in Windows Media player, this issue is non-existent. Winamp acts like someone simply clicked stop. When you click play again, it starts right up. The encoder/server never drops. Upload/download speeds on the client as well as the listener machines is good, usually great. Winamp simply stops.

I tested this myself first hand and the same thing happens to me.

For reference, I am using the newest version of Shoutcast server and Winamp. Any ideas what could be forcing Winamp to drop/stop?
