client underrun on shoutcast server

[Christian]

Hi Dmitry,

  I am getting clients to get underrun from time to time on average once every 3 to 4 hours. Is there a way to trick RB to slightly speed it up and to send more data to avoid this?

Sending data at faster rate is actually a bad idea as it will cause buffer overrun on server side and, in turn, some parts of stream will be lost (this sounds as "skips"). If your listeners have buffer underruns that's likely a stream host problem (or their ISP connection).
