hi, I'm trying an ogg stream which doesn't seem to work at least on my xmms if I don't use the .ogg extension for it. xmms runs into an eternal buffering loop, restarting just upon finishing fill up. at the moment I'm using ices2 got from icecast.org and karl's kh-6. but I would say same problem happend with upstream version in debian sarge (2.2.0-1) however mplayer i.e. plays correctly without the extension on the mountpoint. http://stream.kunstlabor.at:5800/h2 is at the moment an alias to http://stream.kunstlabor.at:5800/h2.ogg so if someone would to help trying it and giving some feedback. i must use karl's branch as I *must* use the on-demand relay feature to save $$$ bandwith from this radioteleskop getting the H2 frequencies from the atmosphere (in Linz, AT) danke!, ciao rama --

Either add the extension, or don't use xmms. Mike
