Which terminal application and version are you using? Does it work correctly in other terminals like xterm? What does your pianobar configuration look like?

I only have the standard Xubuntu terminal installed. It's launched with "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator" Nothing fancy in config:

user = xxxx password = xxxx autostart_station = xxxx audio_quality = high buffer_seconds = 10 ca_bundle = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Pianobar version hasn't changed lately. I assume it must be something updated from development branch of Noble Numbat, though I have no idea what.

Could be a terminal emulator regression, if it’s from the development branch. You could try strace or gdb and see if/where pianobar gets stuck.
