Looks like streamdev-server does not always know when to stop. It is not sending packets anymore, according to ethernet switch and iftop output. That buffer usage growing towards 100% probably is result of network being slow between client and server, it does not happen when streaming to client on LAN. Stream in question is 160 kilobits per second MPEG-2 audio layer 2 ES stream to HTTP client. Buffer reaching 100% usage does not always cause this problem of thread going wild, thread may still exit normally when other end quits. -- "pienena / Paavo "Rainbow Rat" Hartikainen minusta / E-mail: pahartik@xxxxxx tulee / URL: http://www.sci.fi/~pahartik/ rotta" / EFnet: pahartik at #Atari and #LionKing
