Running "pianobar" on BBB with Debian Jessie. Works just fine most of the time.
Occasionally a hiccup will cascade into stuttering fit. The stream seems to continue to play, but very slowly. Not in an analog way but with widely separated bursts of sound. Pressing "p" for "pause" relieves the logjam and the stream resumes normal speed. When such a fit occurs, the blue LED "heartbeat" slows visibly and speeds back up when the fit ends. Also, CPU usage of active processes, as reported in the top utility, roughly double during such a fit. There are no messages written to syslog either. It's as if the CPU itself had slowed down. I know there are a lot of components working together here, and my description is pretty vague. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas or similar experiences. I myself wonder if buffering is somehow involved and think to experiment with mplayer since there is some buffering control available to users. Thanks for reading.
