I'm trying to listen to a live real audio stream (BBC World Service -
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/worldservice/livenews_v8.ra)
but sooner or later the sound is garbled (the sound is chopped and like it's coming through water) and it doesn't recover. Sometimes the sound also drops out entirely but it ususally recovers from this (presuming that that's common in a live stream).
It has happened on each occasion that I've tried to listen (spread out over several days/weeks) so I'm presuming that it's not just because of pressure on the servers. Furthermore I also listen to some World Service on-demand programs and they play fine - it's only the live stream.
In VLC, I have tried increasing the cache to up to 25000 ms but it still ends up sounding garbled (though it might take slightly longer before it happens).
Any ideas?
