Shifty .m3u Playlist Streaming

Bug Description

I was running Dapper when I first noticed a problem, but I recently reinstalled with Edgy and wanted to see if it was still happening. I didn't notice the pattern until just now:

If I stream a .m3u playlist in Totem that links to .mp3 or .ogg files (such as http://www.hoodidge.net/mp3playlist.m3u or http://www.hoodidge.net/oggplaylist.m3u), it will always work the first time per session, but after that only occasionally. It will buffer to 99%, and then either stop, or refuse to play anything.

I've attached my lshal output in case it is a hardware issue, but I doubt it.

EDITED: Changed description for new information.

Aggh! This is a slippery one. It also might have something to do with the file length?

When I uploaded those files/playlists I put up the whole songs, but I was concerned with a legal issue so I went back and shortened them to 30s clips. And then the playlists would stream! Keep in mind this is for ogg and mp3 files, and I first noticed it with eMusic samples, so I highly doubt it is an issue with the files themselves.
