Icecast - Dec 2004 - streaming stops after 5 seconds or so

Hi there, fellow icecast users. I have just started using icecast and really
like it, but seem to have a small problem for now, let's call it a challange
;)
 
I am using version 2.1.0 and use ices 0.4 to stream my mp3 collection to the
server. They both run on linux (fedora core2) and looks like it is working
ok. But when listening to the stream it stops playing, does anyone perhaps
recognizes this problem?
 
Hope someone can help me out, thx in advance.
 
Kind regards Bannister

It's hard to say why it stopped as we have little information to go on.
The usual reason why a stream stops playing for a listener is because
bitrate from icecast to listener is more than the link can take, causing
the client to lag behind and if that client lags behind too much then
they will be kicked off.
