Hi.

I'm not sure if this is actually bug, since reproduction of this problem is somewhat difficult.

When a shoutcast source disconnects, an EOF is send.
Now, the Winamp source being the primary source, the server seems not to be able to switch to the fallback mountpoint in time, causing listeners to disconnect from the stream.

When the source client is something else than Winamp, this does not occur, the server switches to the fallback mountpoint, letting the listening client on the stream.

However, this EOF-problem does not always occur when the source is Winamp as well.
In about 50% of all disconnects, where Winamp is the source, the EOF seems to get through to the listener, causing him to disconnect from the stream.

Is this a known problem?
Maybe there's a way how to filter the EOF from the source, so my listeners don't disconnect?

Thanks,

you'll need to show the error log around the time the switchover is supposed to occur. From the stream shutting down to the moving of listeners to listeners being dropped.
