[vlc-devel] Shoutcast problem in VLC 0.5.1

I tried to play some streams from www.shoutcast.com and ran into following
problems:

1. VLC does not support *.pls files so I downloaded them manually and took
URLs from them

2. it plays for a while (depends on access_http caching value) and then
writes:

mpgatofixed32 audio output warning: libmad error: bad main_data_begin
pointer
mpgatofixed32 audio output warning: libmad error: bad main_data_begin
pointer

after that either this is repeated forever (no sound plays):

main audio output warning: PTS is out of range (_some_number_here_),
dropping buffer

or this is written (input is closed after that):

audio input warning: cannot read data
audio input debug: cannot find next frame (EOF ?)
main input: EOF reached

Why does that happen? Thanks. I can send more info, just ask.

Have a nice day.
