Bug Description

I'm facing a problem and am not sure whether to report it as a bug. Banshee doesn't open my favourite radio station as easily as for example Audacious does. The radiostation is http://www.dnbnoize.com:8000 and the problem that I have to push "Play" button several times to be able to hear the audio stream. The radio starts mostly after second attempt. My Internet connection is fast enough and as I wrote the problem doesn't exist for example in Audacious. Sometimes I have to click "Previous" or "Next" button to start the stream (that especially after hibernation or suspending-Audacious keeps on playing smoothly also after these two operations). Mostly when I click the Play button the program is "Connecting" and then switch itself to "Idle". Then I have to click "Play" once again and with a stroke of luck the stream starts. If it does not I have to click "Play" a few more times cause usuallly every next click ends up with "Idle".

I'd also like to ask whether is it possible to just click the "Play" button in a system tray which will play my radio as a default the same way Audacious does so that I didn't every time have to: open Banshee, click on "Radio", click on my radiostation on the list and then fight with the play button as I described above.

I'm trying to switch to Banshee because of the interesting integration with Ubuntu but if things keep on going this way I'll stay by Audacious.

Which version of Ubuntu/Banshee do you use? Please could you attach your "~/.config/banshee-1/log" as a separated file? Thanks

I'm using 11.04 on two mashines and have the same problem. However Natty is some kind of Alfa release so I'll first switch back to 10.04 and when the support is over and thins will go the way they do I'll switch to Window$ ;(
