Problem with a radio stream

Asked by GTriderXC

I'm facing a problem and am not sure whether to report it as a bug. Banshee doesn't open my favourite radio station as easily as for example Audacious does. The radiostation is http://www.dnbnoize.com:8000 and the problem that I have to push "Play" button several times to be able to hear the audio stream. The radio starts mostly after second attempt. My Internet connection is fast enough and as I wrote the problem doesn't exist for example in Audacious. Sometimes I have to click "Previous" or "Next" button to start the stream (that especially after hibernation or suspending-Audacious keeps on playing smoothly also after these two operations). Mostly when I click the Play button the program is "Connecting" and then switch itself to "Idle". Then I have to click "Play" once again and with a stroke of luck the stream starts. If it does not I have to click "Play" a few more times cause usuallly every next click ends up with "Idle".

I'd also like to ask whether is it possible to just click the "Play" button in a system tray which will play my radio as a default the same way Audacious does so that I didn't every time have to: open Banshee, click on "Radio", click on my radiostation on the list and then fight with the play button as I described above.

I'm trying to switch to Banshee because of the interesting integration with Ubuntu but if things keep on going this way I'll stay by Audacious.
