What am I doing wrong ?  There are several podcasts that I can't seem to
get slimserver to stream successfully. 

Would someone care to try the following two podcast URLs ?

http://abc.net.au/triplej/rawcomedy/podcast/podcast.xml
http://abc.net.au/rn/podcast/feeds/science.xml

For me the first one works fine,  the second looks like it's working,
but there is no sound!  On my squeezebox when I look at the details of
what's "Now Playing" it shows a bitrate of 0kbps ... which is obviously
wrong.   If I actually download the file and stick it in with my music
files it is a 64kbps CBR mp3 file and my squeezebox happily plays it.  
So what am I doing wrong?

I see the same behaviour for all of the podcasts from the ABC
(Australian) Radio National at
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/default.htm
So I'm suspecting there is something odd about their particular
podcasts.   But I have been downloading them and playing them on a
separate player (my cell phone) with no problems for a couple of years
now.   So it is just the combination of slimserver and these pods that
doesn't seem to work.

FYI #1 I am using slimserver 6.5.4 and a squeezebox with firmware 81
(but I get the same behaviour with softsqueeze too).  

FYI #2 this is the first thing I've come across that doesn't seem to
work properly.   I use slimserver with my local mucic collection every
day and it is BRILLIANT!   I love this product!.
