I've been getting reports from people that my Icecast streams are not working when RealPlayer is used for playback. They all say that the stream plays for 5-10 seconds, then the connection just drops. I tried it using RealPlayer 8 on Windows2000, and got the same results. Winamp, on the other hand, works perfectly. I tried playing other streams on the Icecast yp server, and it seems to play back fine. I'm running Icecast 1.3.11, and feeding it static mp3 files using IceS 0.2.2. IceS is re-encoding the mp3 files down to 64kbps. I scoured the mailing-list archives and documentation trying to find the source of this problem, but was unable to find anyone else encountering ths same problem. Is there a setting or something I'm overlooking? My stream is located at http://www.houseofgeeks.net:8000/ Any ideas?

Hi: Most curious. for what it's worth, realplayer 8 under linux does the same thing, and mpg123 works fine. Odd. I do notice some glitches in the audio before it dies, which suggests to me that icecast is sending some data that realplayer doesn't know how to handle.
