I had almost resigned to blaming the crossfader when it happened again (without the crossfader). I have a very short station ID of about 1 second and during the quick change of tracks, I did get a skip when listening to the stream. The station ID did not play in it's entirety, even though it did on the source PC. So to me it sounds like it is something to do with the sending of the metadata interfering with the audio data. I don't get this happening when I listen to Virgin Radio, for example, where there is no change in metadata. But they are using Ices I believe so who knows.

It's _possible_ (though I think unlikely) that the mp3 metadata support in icecast2 is causing this. It should work, but hasn't had really extensive testing - so it might be causing occasional problems like this. If you can reproduce this with another streamer AND with another listening client (so as to ensure it's not a problem specifically with winamp), I'll look into that.
