It doesn't like my PLS file format (file attached).
Multiple false tracks are displayed or the last track
is duplicated.

Takes a very long time to start playing.

Seg faults on The Linux Show when they are not
broadcasting.

Refuses to play some streams.

Totem doesn't have any of these problems.

I like MPFC and want to use it on an old PC I plan to
set up as a router. Good combination with Links. The
keyboard layout is a bit odd but it works. How about
mouse support?

    I tried the new streaming patch and MPFC is working fairly
    good now (mouse too!). Buffering is still excessive with
    low bandwidth (dial-up). Takes too long to start playing.
    Maybe size the buffer for 15 seconds or so based on bit
    rate. I noticed that the controls become unresponsive if
    you try to quit when it is buffering. It recovers when the
    buffer fills.

    The Linux Show wouldn't play but MPFC didn't crash either.
    They were off air but Totem played last weeks show so I am
    not sure if the server restreams the previous broadcast or
    redirects it to a file (lastweek.m3u?).

    The only bug I noticed is that the balance left/right is
    backwards.

    I occasionally get a seg fault when exiting.
