</div>To get a better idea of where that happens you should check if this<br>
"skipping" is the same for all listeners, if yes, then it comes from the<br>
source client, if not it is something between icecast and the listener<br>
client.<br>

</div>It could be that the source client skips for some reason, e.g. because<br>
of CPU load. This can easily happen also on a multi-CPU system if the<br>
encoding is single threaded and saturates the core on which it's running.<br>

I don't have an immediate idea where your problem could be coming from,<br>
so it's important to go step by step and rule out each part. It might<br>
help to look at all possible logging, both on the source and on the<br>
icecast (error.log) side.<br>
