Yeah, I imagine it is something like that causing the issue as without the AVR plugin I never had any issues with AP bridge playback. I don't think it is worth any further investigation we can just stop here and I will find some other way. I guess I do have a bunch of extra Pis laying around if it ends up annoying me that much.
