Not annoying at all.  I'm happy to be able to add some of my own experience to how useful Icecast can be.

I suspect the gap may vary with the connected client (listener).   Since there is an interruption in the stream, the receiving software must resync.  All my "receivers" are running mpg123 on Linux with a custom script that is constantly looking at the received stream status.  If there is any interruption, it will immediately kill mpg123 and restart it making the interruption as brief as possible.  Since these receivers are all remotely located, I don't hear them but I have never heard a complaint about it.
