The default on Apache servers (at least) is a timeout of 300 seconds. I 
guess this should mean that if you pause for at least five minutes, your 
client won't be able to resume unless it's able to reconnect and set the 
position from which to read. I've no idea
if Winamp does this. I guess it should, if it's at all supported by the 
server.
