Well, the fastest I can get giving 100% for the full 10 minutes was
2000kps. I get 98 - 99% all the way up to 5000kps.
I also tried Radio 2 on my wired Squeezebox+ and there were no drop
outs - I guess wireless connectivity is the problem after all.
Very frustrating though when FLAC and even
I recently went though a phase of maddening rebuffering in my synched
SB3s, using the Alien Real stream (Radios 3, 4, 7). Although I guessed
at bandwidth issues, I'm not sure it was
I could use the same router to push BBC streams direct to a couple of
laptops (ie, not using SC) and they
Run Network test and check fastest speed you can get 100% for 10 mins.
Streaming Flac from files and from a network stream have slightly
different network characteristics so a Network test for a sustained
period is a better test than being able to play Flac audio files.

I've not really stressed it yet. Based on the small usage it's had

I made the change it's clearly better.
I'll not really know until I get wires into an uncabled part of the
house. I've been promising myself I'll do that for several weekends
now...
Sorry I don't have more to say.
BBCiPlayer should not have audio dropouts as it does not play RealAudio.
Gaps can occur due to buffering - are you getting buffering messages

When listening to live BBC Radio I get sound drop outs. All goes silent
for a short while, usually a few seconds, then restarts. I know that
MPLAYER.EXE has an option to increase the size of buffer it uses but I

Thanks for the reply.
I'm trying the IPlayer plugin now - didn't even know it existed. Too
soon to say if it has fixed my problem with drop outs.
