I've tried playing a certain IceCast stream, too, and it takes about 10
seconds to buffer up, whereas on Winamp, it plays straight away.

OK, the reason it takes so longer to buffer is because the station is
sending an incorrect bitrate header:
x-audiocast-bitrate:24000
This should be:
x-audiocast-bitrate:24
We calculate buffering time based on the bitrate of the stream. I'll
see about adding some way to detect this case.

Have you tried to play the same station on your PC?
If it also buffers for an extended time on the PC then the problem is
not the boom.
The problem could be limited bandwidth at the radio station's end, too
many simultaneous users, network problems somewhere between your and
the server's location
