In the last few days started getting severe dropouts on streaming mp3
stations, such as the Shoutcast ones. This maybe related to my isp as
recently my adsl has recently been upgraded. The symptoms are audio
dropouts and breakups on these stations which occur is the data rate is
more than 64Kbps. This happens both if I connect my Squeezebox to my
local pc and to the Squeeze network. Lower rate streams play back ok,
as do local mp3 files.

These dropouts don't happen however if I connect using mplayer/real
player etc directly to the Shoutcast server, which makes me think this
is not an isp issue. If I connect to my pc's slimserver using these
players, I get dropouts and I see the player is buffering most of the
time when playing these streams.  This matches what I see on Server
Health when playing these which indicates a low buffer fill status. 

Any ideas? The server is an up to date 64-bit FC5 machine (AMD64). I've
tried Slimserver 6.2.2 and 6.3 (20060518).
