Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

totem 2.28.2 on Karmic x86_64.

I noticed that my usual radio streams have been stalling lately, and
then I noticed that it's always "about" 9:15 after I start them. The
software doesn't crash; it just stops. If I press pause, wait a bit,
then press play, it re-buffers and starts up again. This has happened
reliably about 10 times in a row today.

I also tried Quod Libet (another gstreamer-based player) and got the
exact same problem. No relevant output appears in the console or
.xsession-errors. I can confirm that it is not a problem with the source
of the stream (tried different streams) or my network.

>From there, I tried gstreamer at the command line:
gst-launch -v gnomevfssrc location=http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8206 ! faad ! 
audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink

This worked for over an hour without hitch 'till I cancelled it and
tried again with totem. Totem stopped playing audio again at about 9:15.
Then I tried with VLC, also had no problem streaming for more than an
hour.

I don't know what sort of gstreamer pipeline totem uses to stream; or
Quod Libet for that matter. Perhaps they don't use GVFS, so it's an
entirely unfair test.

I tried running totem via command line with:
totem --debug http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8206

But the only output I get AT ALL is:
** Message: no file info

(Shouldn't "debug" dump a little more than this?)

I wish I could provide more details... just can't get any log output
from totem.
