Does the file play without problems when played locally?

Did you disable APM/ACPI ??

This is either a wrong packet in the original stream or the network is 
almost saturated. Hence the occasional packet loss. Are you using a 10 
MB/s network with an 8 Mb/s stream ???

Problem in original file ??

Probably network problem, hence the corrupted packet. If the network is 
not nearly saturated you might have a problem with the network driver on 
the EPIA-M.

It looks like the network drops packets, probably due to network 
saturation (no bandwidt left, so UDP packets are dropped first).
