I gave up on streaming completely and download everything locally first.
Even when the file is on disk I encounter banshee getting confused.  The
UI will show that it is playing, but it isn't.  Pressing play/pause has
no effect. Only double clicking on the file and moving the slider to the
right position gets it going again.  If it can't be reliable for a local
file, it will hardly manage with a remote one.

Title:
  banshee unable to stream audio for more than a few minutes

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  I like to listen to various one hour long music podcasts from dance
  tunes radio.  From their RSS feed I get the URL to a podcast and then
  in banshee Open Location and paste it in.  Banshee will start playing
  the podcast but after anywhere from one to twenty minutes will
  suddenly stop.  The screen will show it buffering and stuck, for
  example right now at 9%.  The play pause button also changes to the
  green play icon.  If I use wget against the podcast then it downloads
  just fine.  An example feed is http://blog.dance-
  tunes.com/sensation/Sensation_Podcast.xml

  (No I don't want to do RSS feed subscription within banshee - I just
  want it to play URLs reliably.)
