    Audio Streaming crashes after 10 minutes

    I was unable to reproduce this error that I described in detail in my first post.
    I can't find it now, it seems it has been deleted. In fact, I should delete almost all the lines from it in the first try because a ridiculous rule didn't allow me include links in my first post. It only had two links, one for the source of the audio streaming, that I named the Streaming Test page, and the other for the source of the debian package that I installed. So the only thing that remained was 'Hi'. But, immediately, I replied to this with the complete description of the problems, with all the lines that I was forced to delete from my first post by that ridiculous rule.
    So, I think that it can be related to the traffic in the net, I mean, with the amount of people who is listening to the same streaming.
    There are also two things that I did before to start to hear the streaming:
    First, I started the firewall, with the command 'sudo ufw enable', in the Terminal. So, maybe the firewall didn't allow the petitions from the streaming server were answered, and this one cut the connection after a time limit of 10 minutes or 600 seconds. I think that it must be a time limit somewhere.
    Second, the package adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.406-0precise1_amd64.deb required three packages of libpango, so I installed them before it. But this is implicit when I said that I installed this package. But besides of that, I installed the official Adobe Flash Player in this way: I downloaded from its website the compressed file install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz. I unzipped it, and, according to the instructions, I copied the file libflashplayer.so to the folder '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins', and the folder usr to the root.
    After trying all the combinations of this two things, I mean starting the firewall and installing also the official Adobe Flash Player, I was unable to reproduce this annoying error that upset me when I most want to hear this radio, between Thursdays at 23:30 UTC and Fridays at 01:00 am UTC. So I think that it could be also related with the traffic in the Internet.
    Anyway, this is an error of Kubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr.
    I never had this problem with Kubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin.

      Thank you, Vinny.
      I'll wait to the next Thursday to see if is due to the net traffic.
      I swear that I searched my first post in My Profile > My Activity, and I didn't find it.
      Thank you.

        I'm online now, waiting for the beginning of the program. By now, it's working, it did it for 15 minutes now, still no problem.
        The speakers don't work. The headphones do. I don't have any problem with the speakers, with the same hardware and settings, under Windows nor Kubuntu 12.

            I rebooted in Kubuntu 12, Precise. I missed some minutes. The speakers work a little better, but they don't work well. It is heard cutted, interrupted, they don't work. I noticed now, because I alway use the headphones, to not bother the rest of my family, but today I was playin youtube videos for the children under Windows just before I booted Kubuntu 14 to test this issue, and the speakers worked OK under Windows.

              I finished hearing the show under Precise without problem, as before. I've heard it under Windows and Precise, but it was under Trusty when I noticed that there was a problem.
              The speakers work OK to play music and videos under Precise and Trusty (once installed the needed codecs, of course).
              That means that this problem definitely has to do with this particular stream (and may be others, I don't know) at its peak of audience.
              What bothers me more about Trusty is that I miss some minutes of the show while I reboot. I can't re-start Kmix to continue hearing.
