It appears to occur when the metadata for the song title etc is being sent.  For me this is a few seconds before the actual change of track since I'm using the SQRSoft crossfader where a new song is loaded well before the audio changes.

You're likely using XMMS, or a player with the same bug.  It does this
skipping, especially with Ogg streams, and especially does so when the
track channels/samplerate changes (actually cuts off a fraction of a
second from the previous song).

Try listening to it with ogg123 if it's Ogg, if it's MP3 its likely a
similar bug.  Not saying it can't be oddcast, but because songs are
buffered in the player I highly doubt it.
