Sure is related sorry to say.  I have tried everything I can to get  
around this.  It only happens with true streaming content.  You could  
get around this by posting the audio files to a web server and have  
your player check the server for new content.  Then have them  
download the audio file and play it.  That would be a very reliable  
solution.
