"Rhythmbox stops playback of the stream when the stream changes the metadata
(artist, tune etc). I think the problem really lies in the gstreamer vorbis lib
but i dont know any other way to test it than via rhythembox.

ogg123 is linked to same ogg and vorbis libs but copes with the metadata change


How to reproduce:
Add http://anka.org:8080/stream.ogg as a raidiostation, start to listen wait for
a tune to end,
when the next is about to start the metadata is sent and rhythmbox stops.

Its not made of different oggs, but chained streams, with a new stream each time
the metadta changes.

Running ogginfo on a wget'ed section of the stream confirms this "guess"."


I think the problem is that rhythmbox expects radio to be a unique and
continuous stream. When playing an online file in this way I get a "Unexpected
end of stream!" too.
