Are you running any other applications on this machine at the same time as Softsqueeze? You could try increasing the priority of Softsqueeze using 'nice'. It would also be worth checking the buffer fullness (you can enable this in the player settings in the slimserver web interface), does this drop during the hiccups?
I'm seeing 3 main problems:
(1) powersaved periodically interrupts the music somehow. I discovered this using top, but I'm not 100% convinced it's just a processor usage thing because even if I renice powersaved all the way down and SoftSqueeze all the way up the problem persists. Killing off powersaved solves the problem but I worry...what am I potentially doing to the machine by killing powersaved? Might it overheat or run the fan unnecessarily or something?
(2) When I switch tracks there's often a hiccup. It seems sometimes to be worse when I switch tracks repeatedly in a short span of time. I don't seem to get buffer underruns or other messages when this happens.
(3) I am seeing periodic buffer underruns that look like this:
1709413 [Player Thread-27] INFO audiobuffer.verbose - audio buffer underrun
1709416 [Player Thread-27] INFO audiobuffer.verbose - audio buffer underrun
Sometimes they coincide with a hiccup in the sound, but I don't think they do always.
I'm also sometimes seeing this: 979432 [Thread-4] WARN search - checking now ... -1 1157307 [Thread-4] WARN search - checking now ... -1
