Okay, I've just done a fairly controlled test. It looks like I'm seeing bug #1434 plus a completely different network or buffering problem. I checked the Server and Network Health whilst running the tests and it indicated that a low buffer was my only problem. So I'm no closer to finding out what is causing the low buffer. I have to repeat this test with WMA VBR but I believe the dropouts I am seeing there occur even when I have a 100% full buffer.
