Sorry..should have mentioned that.
Kernel is 2.4.18
Xmms is 1.2.6-102
Input is libmpg123 version 1.2.6 Output is OSS Driver 1.2.6
I am trying an experiment whereby mpg123 is playing one of the streams I regularly listen to to see if I get the same problem, as like you I find it unlikely that Xmms is to blame.
Well i /think/ there may be dark magic at work somewhere, as where i used to live my machine had a alcatel modem and we sat behind the nat firewall and used to get disconnected about once a week. I have since moved somewhere else and my connection has now been up for 20days the only things that have changed are
1. the telephone line and exchange 2. the modem (still an alcatel same model etc) 3. one less user behind the firewall
So it may be that there are other things that cause this behaviour, I used to have to reboot the firewall about 50% of the time to get the connection to come back up before which was odd and makes me wonder if its not something at the BT end that could affect this.
