When I log onto a RealAudio broadcast, I hear the typical 20 second commercial prior to the live stream, but then about 1 to 1.5 seconds into the live stream sound stops, and the live stream clock stops dead also.
The RealAudio stream is compressed audio, and if you don't have muscle with you computer P166+ or better, then you will loose a lot of the information... I've been messing with RealAudio with a 10baseT ethernet, which is great, so I get 130bps streams and have clear sound... If you streaming accross a modem with PPP, then any line noise or resent packets will pause your audio stream... Does it stop at the same spot? Do you have libc5.4.44? Do you have over 32meg of memory and running a lightweight windowmanger? What's the load while you are streaming? I usually stay around 1.2 or less when I'm playing... Does the test realaudio file(s) work... like welcome.ram?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there a fix?
SuSE usually spits out kernel/OS messages on console 10 (CTRL+ALT+F10); see if you are getting a device busy error, or if there are any related error messages on that console... RealAudio has a performance thing with it where you can see how the engine is behaving: latency/resent packets/dropped packets/bits per second/etc See if it's not dropping packets or trying to resend things etc...
