From what I understand, the patched version of the library doesn't fix the bugs, it just suppresses them (I.E., things are still going bad behind the scenes).
This makes sense, as the same errors happen with the patched lib, it only goes longer intervals before it happens. (Although, the "instant crash" with skipping audio is about eliminated.) As far as net radio, the interval is directly related to the bitrate of the stream. I haven't tried streaming from CD or disk, but will give it a go eventually.
Interestingly, running executive has helped tremendously. Audio still predictably quits, but in almost all cases, I've been able to restart the stream, or select another one without the Delfina crashing and CPU load going 100%. I'm using the "feedback" scheduler, but I have no idea if one might be better than another, or why executive has made a positive improvement at all.
Another thing I've noticed - there appear to be at least 2 versions of the Lite. A later one with two buffer ICs by the edge connector, and the earlier one (mine) with only one IC. As moving the card further down the bus seems to have a positive affect, I wonder if the v1.2 cards ("eXtreme buffers edition") are more stable?

Dude, had I bought one when they were new, I would have been equally annoyed! My A3000 is more tolerant of problematic Zorro cards, maybe it'll work better there. :/
edit: Made it 6 1/2 hours before it finally tanked, only had to restart the audio four or five times in between...
