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.

The WAV24 transcoded stream I was playing this evening definitely lasted just over two hours (including the last movement of the Ninth Symphony, which sounded marvellous); I had just one very short dropout, but the system recovered within a few seconds. Presumably, if the maximum size were the 4GB that it should be, the maximum duration would be something over 4 hours?
