Yes, certain buffer values cause stuttering and static-like sound. On
the C2 for example, if I recall  buffer time of 120 caused very
noticeable stutter.

Beyond the obvious stuttering it *seemed* as if output had very subtle
jerkiness with -a 35 which disappared with -a 92790:4. It's a very minor
artefact and I don't want to rule out self-bias on this. What is clear
that buffer size/time selection has audible effect for squeezelite (and
other alsa utilities like aplay), and that the embedded boards I've used
are all less than perfect at default setting.
