I listen this web radio without any issue on a raspberry Pi B with a usb audio card and Volumio Beta 1.2
But on a raspbeery pi B+ with HiFiBerry DAC+ and volumio 1.55, it usually plays the radio for few seconds and stops.
I have tried a lower quality of this radio, but same problem. I can just listen a bit longer. Same issue with other radios.
What is strange is that I can listen this radio novazz.ice.infomaniak.ch/novazz-128.mp3 without interuptions (by the way, it is a great radio)
My wife is a bit sarcastic about my geek stuf… I will be more than happy if someone could help me
Let me know if I should provide more information or read something I should have read
I had same problems with all radios (Culture, Inter, Info, Musiques) from Radio France, but on Volumio 1.51.
I solved this issue by upgrading mpd.
You can check the version of mpd in use by typing the following command in shell:
Seems to me that version 1.9 of mpd is partially bugged.

You can find another URL by browsing with Firefox to France Inter’s site, activating the player they provide: http://www.franceinter.fr/player, and typing CTRL.U that will display the HTML source in a separate window.
Within the source, when looking for player or mp3 you will find: http://mp3lg.tdf-cdn.com/franceinter/all/franceinterhautdebit.mp3
which provides you FranceInter, 128kbit/s, stereo.
If you try to gain a DNS resolution to translate mp3lg.tdf-cdn.com into 95.81.165.3 , you may alternatively use: http://95.81.165.3/franceinter/all/franceinterhautdebit.mp3.
It seems that the two URLs are very close, but apparently point onto 2 different servers, or at least onto 2 different IP adresses.
I put the URL within a .pls file, and writes it in directory: /var/lib/mpd/music/WEBRADIO
-The symptom described: “hearing a few seconds, then nothing” is definitely related to mpd problem in release 1.9.
-When I had problems with pmd, I also had error message in /var/log/mpd.log, here with FranceInfo:
