Or is it...
I used the This American Life playlist maker to make playlists, listened
to an episode last night, and went to bed. This morning, the SliMP3 and
Squeezebox both showed the episode title and were stopped. I grabbed the
Squeezebox remote and hit left arrow, up arrow, browse music folder and
the UI hung.
So I went to the browser interface (fishbone) and it showed that the
stream was still playing, with the progress bar sitting at about 50% and
being very jumpy. The left pane music list wouldn't load, just the
player controls and the playlist. (I've seen this sort of thing in
Fishbone before, particularly when a web browser is left open on it
while the music is changed from the remote, though no browser was left
open this time).
Hitting stop in the web UI caused the Squeezebox display to immediately
return to normal and the music folder pane to display. Needless to say,
nothing was logged. Seems to me that Mplayer and AlienBBC are not being
clear with each other about when the stream is done playing. I wasn't
listening closely, so I'm not 100% certain that the Real Audio stream
finished properly instead of dying at about the expected time.
