First, It seems that all songs start out with a pop. I am guessing that the command line options I set in convert.conf were incorrect and are resulting in a linefeed or space at the start of the song.
What I used is: mov wav squeezebox * [alac] $FILE$
As a test I tried using alac to convert the file from *.m4a to *.wav, and added the wav file to my playlist. There were no pops.
Second, alac supports PCM output. Is there any benefit to using this instead of wav output?
The "pop" is almost certainly the sound of the WAV file header being misinterpreted as raw PCM audio. Try selecting raw PCM output from alac and see if the problem goes away.
Are you sure you're using the convert.conf entry you gave above, and aren't actually transcoding to another format?
In the convert.conf file entries that pipe two codecs together to transcode from one compressed format to another, the two codecs must agree on their interchange format. The existing convention *seems* to be raw little-endian 16-bit stereo PCM *without* a WAV header. If the first program outputs wav format when the second expects raw PCM, you'll get the pop.
I'm not exactly sure which native format the Squeezebox 1 expects, WAV or raw PCM. Anybody know?
