I stumbled across this thread while investigating a Clementine 1.4.0rc1-282-gad882cc99 problem. As of now (6/5/20), the original problem does not appear to be fixed. Often, while playing several mp3s (all on disk) the audio stops for seconds or minutes, often restarting for several seconds and, then, stopping again. This sequence occurs repeatedly for 15 -30 minutes, followed by a period (an hour or so) of uninterrupted playing. The stop-start sequence often begins again. By the time I detect it, there is no significant disk activity going on and there is no reason to suspect that the trigger might have been disk activity since the computer is only idling or doing "housekeeping". Even if disk activity had been the trigger, Clementine has a bug in that it fails to detect that the disk has become idle and the buffer can be filled. I suspect that the buffer might actually be full but Clementine fails to properly detect its status. I can restart playback immediately by pressing the "pause/play" button to pause and restart playing.
