How reproducible is this?

Generally if streaming works for even a few seconds it should work 
forever, or at least until some outside event happens (e.g. channel 
change, power glitch to the device, etc...).  I ran it streaming once for 
26 hours without a break.

There's a debug module option you can set.  It is a bit mask; there are 
lots of bits you can set, generally in increasing order of noise in the 
log.  Rather than repeat all the info here, the details can be found on
