Are you on dial-up?  If so, then I would expect 
45333bps to cut out.  With a 56kbps modem you can
cleanly handle a 32kbps stream, but anything faster
than that is dicey.

The size of the buffer doesn't matter.  Once it is
exhausted, the stream will break up.  It's like a
bathtub.  It doesn't matter how full the bathtub is
when you start -- if the water is draining out faster
than it is flowing in, then eventually the bathtub
will be empty.

How fast was the the audio stream?  What speed was your
modem connection?
