It seems to me that there is a problem maybe with the server since we're
buffering a lot, maybe they're not sending as rapidly as they usually do
because of net congestion? It's a beautiful stream!

The following problem was noted for the first time yesterday when listening to
Maxradio a 256 bit stream. Its url is http//195.228.156.38:8036
I am using a Dell Dimension 4600 and jaws 5.10. I have a dsl connection over a
phone line and the transfer bit rate is usually about 180 kbps. The thing is
that I was able to listen to this stream in prior versions of winamp with only
occasional brief buffering problems that cause a bit of breaking up in the
stream.
In winamp 5.05, however, the break-up rate is like staccato bursts of a second
or two in duration and I loose my speech. In fact, I lose all control of the
machine--i.e. the machine freezes. Even narrator doesn't work. Alt-f-4 fails to
turn off the machine and a soft reboot also fails leaving no option but a hard
reboot. Even then there is a message on screen that says something like
programs
task manager, this program is not responding etc. click here to cancel or quit
to end now. Also, I was presented with a calendar on the screen which was
impossible to leave.
Fixes: I reinstalled 5.05. Classic skins only were selected. Agent was not
selected.
After the reinstall, I could open only 3 windows: library, equalizer and play
editor. Alt-w failed to open main window--main window closed and it did not
appear in the control-tab rotation.
Finally, and here is the strangest--All I had to do was go to the library
window
and bookmarks and even though I was at smooth jaz--the first in my list,
Maxradio -- the fourth in the list would begin playing even though I had not
touched any keys and of course everything was frozen again.
Only after going back to 5.04 is the problem solved.
Other streams do appear to work in 5.05--just this 256 bit stream but as I say
it works fine in 5.04.
Any ideas re this very strange behaviour would be appreciated. Maxradio is one
of my favs--both for its sound quality and music selection.
