Icecast - Aug 2004 - Icecast2 / Ogg / oddcastDSP / Winamp2 Constant Prebuffering

Noticing a strange issue, i'm not sure where this lies.  I'm using
oddcastDSP to stream Ogg to icecast2, which seems to be working ok, but
using winamp (v2) to stream from icecast, winamp is constantly
prebuffering, displaying a length of 0:01.  Is this a known bug in either
Winamp or icecast, or a configuration issue perhaps?  I have a feeling
this is Winamp, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

Known bug in winamp. Use a mountpoint ending with ".ogg" to trick it
into
working.

Sounds like you forgot to name your mountpoint ending in .ogg.  Winamp
assumes everythign is mp3 unless you give it a file extension.  It
ignores mimetypes.

Hrm, but it works fine (and the mountpoint is /dnumusic.ogg).  It just
constantly says it's prebuffering.  It doesn't affect the audio output
of
it at all, it just never scrolls the songtitle/etc.  Just prebuffer, flash
of title, prebuffer again.
