[icecast] connection problem

[David Dennis]

fwiw

erver icecast 1.3.7 / ices 0.0.1beta5

erver on a dsl line (384kbps)

client on a LAN separate to it going through several hops

winamp has the drop client problems.  And recently another weird problem,
it spawns with only one channel balance way over to the right.  this can
suck if your windows has no balance control for its audio!  

onique: stays connected for hours and hours

xmms/unix .  stays connected for days

winamp sucks the llamas dick, i like its user interface a lot better than
sonique, but sonique is definitely more functional.  under winduhs.  which
unfortunately is my only option from work ....
