So they are all buggy. Burn them all ;)
Anyway it's perfectly 'legal' to do so in an ogg stream. Also note
that it make it easyier for the ppl to save the stream and pull-out
every single song out of it :)

For the server side your right to opt for some thing wich will work
with as many clients as possible. But here it's a clients, so it
should work with as many servers as possible.

We can bitch as much as we want about other ppl serser's config
that won't solve the problem. And as i said these stream are
'legal' ogg stream, so such debate would only end up in flame.

Anyway feel free to fix the oa/ac to allow reconfig like vo do.
And i'll be happy to make a better fix.
