Ugh again... with your comments I'm realising that darkice doesn't behave 
as every source, which basically means that the hardcoded max size in 
buffers of the clients' queue must be changed asap to size in bytes in 
order not to disconnect clients when the source is sending small buffers. 

I saw this behaviour with ices and MP3, the average size of the buffers is 
about 300-400 bytes, which means a startbuffer of few kilobytes is 
greater that 25.

If you are going to apply my three previous pending patches, I can sending 
you a patch to change the control of queues size to KB instead (and also 
configurable). I already did it, but I put it on stand-by until you apply 
the previous patches.

Regards,
