For many months, probably since the middle of last year, I have noticed 
this effect on random programs downloaded in UK as aacstd files. Some 
way in, perhaps 15/20 minutes, the sound sounds as though the sound has 
been momentarily interrupted. The interruptions get longer and increase 
in frequency then reduce. The whole thing lasts less than a minute and I 
don't recall two such instances in one program.

Problem is ... I don't listen to programs in order so I am not sure 
whether it was a problem which has now ended or whether it is still 
happening.
