I don't actually want to play back MP2 files, I want to play back an MP2 stream. The reason for this is that my Wavefinder DAB digital radio tuner can be made to output a MP2 stream via HTTP.

Well the good news is that it works, sort of.

There are two problems, firstly the audio is choppy, as if frames are missing. However this problem appears to effect all the streams I try (including the default ones in streams.cfg) so I suspect that it may be a general problem with my setup. The Receiver is connected to my DSL line via a wireless network, I will try plugging it in direct over the weekend to see if that helps.

The other problem is that the stream plays back slightly slowly (you can notice that the pitch is lower than it should be) I think this may be due to the sample rate, the MP2 stream is a 48khz stream. Anyone know if there is anything that can be done about this ?

P.S. Should I be pointing the player at the stream itself, or the .pls file with the details in ?
