Yes - looks like Mixcloud has no relevant logging and would need to be
modified to tge the data.

Bugs in socketwrapper usually result in loss of data at start or the
very end.

When a stream stops mid stream - the problem can be buffering and sizes
of buffers in player and network timeouts in the source.

socketwrapper was written many many years ago when to overcome a
Perl/Windows shortcoming. Processors were single core and player had
small buffer and streams were only slow. LMS could only relay small
amounts of data.
Many changes since then. 
Processors have multi core so race conditions may occur. 
Since Win 10,  a bit of Windows internal scheduling has changed - so
windows doesn't quite behave as it used to.
To cope with network reset when streaming large podcasts (i.e.
multimegabyte files) which didn;t like keeping networkj connection open
while player played audio in realtime - LMS now has various buffering
mechanisms.
Some players (e.g. squeezelite) can now very large internal buffers
which means huge demand for audio data at beginning and then nothing for
the last section. Squeezelite can also play more formats so transcode
doesn't happen so offering squeezelite players as a baseline example is
not applicable.

My first inclination is to understand how data is being buffered in this
stream - from mixcloud through LMS and transcode chain into a player.

However clarification is needed.  You seem to indicate the problem as
happens with Squeezlite-X. 
If the problem happens with Squeezelite - squeezelite can play AAC
native (as file is AAC codec in MPEG-4 format) so there should be no
transcoding and no socketwrapper.

Can you get a server.log of player.source when playing to Squeezelite-X
