reading Your lines made me aware, that I'm thinking wrong about the funktion of
the dump file. I asumed it to be a mandatory *buffer* file needed by darkice to
buffer things. It was the example configuration containing an activated
"localDumpFile" making me think like that.
As I don't need any local copy of the stream, I've now simply commented out the
"localDumpFile" stanza and everything appears to be fine.

Sadly I can't be of any help with Your problem, darkice stopping also local
dump when failing to reconnect after network outage.
Thanks for Your explanation and sorry @ll for the noise.
