Ok so in this case the timeout is fixed by the requesting source. For
instance request.dynamic has a parameter:
* timeout :: float (default 20.)
    Timeout (in sec.) for a single download.

Well.. So far we have been saying "you should reencode your files".
But in your case those files are actually downloaded on the fly from
external sources over which you do not have control..
Therefore, I would suggests supporting those situations in liquidsoap,
either by default or through an option. David, any remark?
