If anyone with this problem has time you could try running mplayer
directly to confirm this is the same problem. The following command
line will play the live Radio4 stream: 
mplayer -vo null -cache 128
rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4_dsat_g2.ra

I find this this will run for anything from a few seconds to hours but
eventually the output will be garbled. I think Triode's comment about
"dynamic rate adaption" is probably true because I find this is worse
for popular times of the day (Chris Moyles on R1 and the Archers on
R4).

If there is anyone out there that knows how mplayer works or can debug
it please feel free to jump in....
