Hmmm... On liquidsoap's side, the transition is continuous.. 

There was some known bugs with some clients when using ogg streams. Basically, 
those clients where designed with ogg/vorbis *files* in mind, stopping at each 
end of track. 

However, when playing ogg streams, an end of track should not stop the client 
which should proceed with the next track. Some clients, unfortunately, seem to 
treat streams as files and stop at the end of each ogg track.

Could you try with another client, liquidsoap for instance, and also maybe 
with another format without tracks, like mp3 ?
