I considered it. However, another computer in my internal home network,
running Debian Sid, plays streams through xmms perfectly, this shows my
router (running Debian testing) is okay as far as the
router/masquarading firewall rules are concerned. I then thought about
the iptables rules I have on my desktop. I 'stopped' iptables on my
desktop so that all policies were ACCEPT(i.e. nothing being blocked by
my computer's firewall) and still xmms showed the same problem. So it
looks like firewall is not the issue here.
