hi sebastien,

first of all, thanks for all your work on this cool app. yes, i can play the stream fine with the gst-launch as follows:
$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=http://stream.nute.net:8000/kohina/stream.ogg
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstAudioSinkClock

WARNING: from element /playbin0/abin/audiosink/audiosink-actual-sink-pulse: Compensating for audio synchronisation problems
Additional debug info:
gstbaseaudiosink.c(1190): gst_base_audio_sink_render (): /playbin0/abin/audiosink/audiosink-actual-sink-pulse:
Unexpected discontinuity in audio timestamps of more than half a second (0:00:02.963741496), resyncing
----END---
the lines from WARNING onwards appear in the middle of the playing stream. it stops playing for a sec and then picks up again, perhaps the next track in the stream. maybe rhythmbox is unable to do the same?

i tried to play the stream again and again using rhythmbox. at first i was able to reproduce the error 100% of the time. but late last night, i was able to play the stream without stopping. is it possible that the error is occurring when the stream download rate is lower than a certain threshold?

let me know if you need me to do further testing
Suman.
