I gave up on streaming completely and download everything locally first. Even when the file is on disk I encounter banshee getting confused. The UI will show that it is playing, but it isn't. Pressing play/pause has no effect. Only double clicking on the file and moving the slider to the right position gets it going again. If it can't be reliable for a local file, it will hardly manage with a remote one.

From their RSS feed I get the URL to a podcast and then in banshee Open Location and paste it in. Banshee will start playing the podcast but after anywhere from one to twenty minutes will suddenly stop. The screen will show it buffering and stuck, for example right now at 9%. The play pause button also changes to the green play icon. If I use wget against the podcast then it downloads just fine. An example feed is http://blog.dance- tunes.com/sensation/Sensation_Podcast.xml (No I don't want to do RSS feed subscription within banshee - I just want it to play URLs reliably.)
