I am testing audacious/2.1-1: I haven't yet seen any segfault related to
network troubles.
I also tried to bring the network interface down (with ifdown) while
listening to an Internet radio MP3 stream: of course audacious stopped
playing the stream as soon as the buffer was emptied, but no
segmentation fault happened.

However, I experienced another segfault, as described in
http://bugs.debian.org/471394#27
I don't know if that is due to the same bug, though: that segfault
seems to be related to libresolv, rather than to libneon...

I am really puzzled.
