This might cause the renderer to close the connection when audio data from the server is delayed and the renderer runs out of audio data to play.

There's a bit of evidence for your theory. If there's a playlist the stream is quite likely to shift over to another track after the dropout ... not always but then I'm slightly vague about how playlists, history etc interact between my control point and minimserver.
I waited a while before replying because I got severl hours uninterrupted playing last night but then back to a few minutes this morning.
I'll check whether my control point (ARCAM MusicLife) can see another renderer (e.g. the iPad it's running on).
Also, is there any way of diagnosing the buffer underrun you're suggesting?
Is there a case for buffering in the server or is that happening already?
thanks again
