I think this is a bug too, in souphttpsrc there is something like this:

|/* The server disconnected while streaming. Reconnect and seeking to the
      * last location. */
     src->retry = TRUE;

instead souphttpsrc should retry the connection without seeking for a live stream,

reading the souphttpsrc code seems there is a lot of code for seeking, this should be completly disabled for live sources,

I should open a bug,

Nicola
