Urgent fix to small JS app, the audio stops playing after few seconds

I have a small Node.js app that serves a live radio stream over WebSockets. Hitting the play button starts the audio, but it cuts out within seconds. Your task is to dig into the code, add whatever diagnostics you need, trace the root cause, and deliver a solid fix so the live stream plays continuously.

If you do a good job and fix this quickly. You can come on long term for javascript and node projects.

The code base is tiny, once you’ve patched the issue and shown the stream running steadily, updade github.com repo and tell what was wrong and how you resolved it.

If this goes smoothly there’s plenty more JavaScript work waiting—most of my stack is JS—so consider this a paid trial for a longer-term collaboration, even though the budget for this particular job is small.
