Shifted recording time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log in
2. Tune in
3. Play recorded song

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The recording should start and end at the beguining and the end of the song. 
Instead, every 
recording starts about 2 seconds late and finish also late. I end up with every 
song starting cuted 
and ending with clips of the next.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm running version 1.0.2 under GNU/linux (Kubuntu 6.10) and 0.2 Beta under Mac 
OS X (10.4.9)
On both I get the same result.

The problem is how the steam is read from server... It's limited how we can cut 
the
songs...
The issue has been reported before, see below for more detailed technical 
description
of the issue:

I don't think I can be fixed, if anyone have any ideas how it could be please 
let us
know...

Currently the issue is worst in the Window version, since it has some problems
updating the metainfo fast...

At the moment i'm using Audio Hijack Pro (Mac OS X) to record from streams. 
With this application you can:
1. Listen wuat you are recording
2. Check for blanks in the stream so you tan tell start a new recording once it 
detects the end of the song.
Now, with last.fm i have problems because the gap is very short (or there are 
other gaps in the song and you 
get cutted songs), but if you can mix the search for blanks with the lenght 
metadata i believe the problem 
would be less severe (or fixed?)
Of course i don't know if this  is possible with the current scheme of this 
ripper.
The other problem with Audio Hijack (Pro or not) is that after the recording i 
need to manually write down the 
metadata to the new song and that takes time as you can't leave the program 
working on its own...
I hope this can give another idea to fix this issue if its possible.
Thanks,
A.G.

I don't think it would be impossible to split songs by checking for blanks in 
the
stream...

I think I'm going to take a look at this approach once I find the time for 
it... As
far as I remember I had some problems with these blanks when reading stream, but
currently TheLastRipper ignores them...
Well, I seams I know why they are there now... Thanks a lot...
