Just as a follow up. I've found that this also happens with MythMusic. I
can be listening to music playing, when all of the sudden, it will stop.
However, after several minutes, the music starts back up again, right where
it left off. I think this is related to my backend. I have a huge torrent
running right now and I believe that the BE is having difficulties with too
many TCP connections. Hopefully, this stops when the torrent is done.
