Stream client stops randomly

I've had continued problems with the stream player ceasing to render audio, although the embedded player still shows "Stop" as if it's running. Cycling the player (Stop, then Play) always resumes the sound. I have been able to find no consistent situation for this; the embedded player works fine sometimes, and has this intermittency sometimes, at the same location, etc. As a test, I ran the current Windows FMOD client (using the 3.73 engine) and it works fine, no intermittency. So, I'm personally convinced this is a bug in the SL implementation of FMOD 3.72. Any suggestions would be appreciated; I'm running a Shoutcast Linux server. The logs show connects and disconnects, so it appears that the SL FMOD process is disconnecting gracefully, albeit not when desired.

FYI, this is occuring for most people I think. Perhaps the stream is dropped by the servers themselves, I'm not sure, but it normally happens a fw times a day to me.
