Nearly all of the ones with problems use MP3. Also a few of them seem to
have the problem around song changes, so their encoder might not send data
for a short time, which probably means the input harbor thinks
disconnected...the buffer probably runs out before the audio track is sent.
Just a guess though.
OK, I will go in there and start logging away :)
