For the past week or so I've been getting some nasty pops and glitches in the Chillout channel; I haven't been able to find any pattern (e.g. splatter due to volume levels etc.) but it is very consistent and seriously disrupting my listening. Most commonly there is a slight click at random intervals, around 5 seconds or so; every now and then a more severe glitch will occur which noticeably disrupts the tempo of the music.

I've gone through the stickies on popping and noise, including several external tips/references for WinAmp (I'm using the latest build, 5.3, released 2006-09-26, with the Oct.10 update patch applied on top for good luck) and nothing has affected the problem. Local MP3 playback and other formats (CD, WMA, WAV, AAC, MOD, etc.) are all unaffected, as are other streams on DI. Chillout seems to be the only channel afflicted with this problem. The MP3 streams at both 192k and 128k exhibit the noise, as do the AAC+ streams at both 64k and 32k. I haven't been able to get the WMA streams working, probably because I dislike WMP and am too lazy to sort out the DRM garbage from WMP11

Is anyone else hearing this, or am I just going insane?
