If the server is busy or under powered, reducing the bitrate may cause the glitches.


But the absolute regularity of the glitches would indicate a buffer problem. With 320K I get them every 5 sec (approx), with metronome regularity. Lowering bit rate makes the intervals correspondingly longer, definitely pointing to buffer issues.

On the other hand, strangely enough, I don't get the glitches on shoutcast "stations", but I *do* get them using AlienBBC to listen to BBC.

No glitches using any other client on the rio.
