Perhaps due to Linn's buggy handling of WAV streams or possibly a BBC tech issue, the former seems more likely. Will try tomorrow's concert in FLAC and see if it gets through the whole thing.

A 24-bit 2GB WAV stream can play for just over 2 hours. Is this how long it lasted for you?

I was listening via flac:wav so a 16-bit stream, and it lasted less than two hours I think. Also tried flac:wav-0kb and get no playback at all. Will revert to FLAC streaming to establish a baseline on duration.
