IIRC Both streamed AAC and MP3 are divided into frames which means audio
decoding is done over quite a small amount of data and can be restarted
with each frame.  

Without knowing Radio internals, as it is the audio execute thread that
dies - that points to a problem in audio decoding  or possibly internal
buffer management (incoming MP3 audio buffer and decoded audio output
buffer filling/emptying ).  I would think that http is not part of the
issue as it is common and so unlikely to be in audio thread - except for
adding data to incoming buffer. Similarly metadata will be extracted
(and copied to LMS) before adding data to incoming MP3 buffer.
