Sound streaming problem (I think)

The area containing my gallery in Clara plays a sound stream that consists of a single mp3 file.

I have noticed that since 1.5 the sound cuts off prematurely, about a second before the end of the stream. I've checked the stream on the website where it is held, and it is fine.

I've only tested this twice, because the stream is over eleven minutes long, but it's happened on the two occasions I have let the stream play to the end, so it does seem there might be a real problem.

Have you tested to see of this happens on any connection other than your own? SL doesn't buffer well at ALL, nor is there any easy way to change it, so I'm wondering if the problem is with the network.

Catherine,

<<Have you tested to see of this happens on any connection other than your own?>>

There's no easy way I can. However, if it's a network problem, am I right to think it will eventually resolve on its own?

Not necessarily. It could be dependent upon a number of things. The Lindens need to increase the stream buffer, for starters. Once that's done, I would expect it to work perfectly.
