I'm still having odd problems with my setup.  Most bothersome, I am
experiencing a stutter / dropout / glitch at the beginning of tracks. 


First, here's my config:

PC: Athlon64 3400+, 1GB ram, WinXP.  NForce3 chipset/audio.
Java ver: 1.5.0_04 (as reported by softsqueeze)
Softsqueeze: 2.0b11 (runs on the same machine as slimserver)
Slimserver: 6.0.3 (reported by softsqueeze)
However, slimserver web interface reports as follows:
SlimServer Version 6.1.2 - 4157 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252
Audio buffer size: 128000
MP3 decoder: Java MP3 Plugin.
Screen saver: blank screen.
Network: wired 100Mbit ethernet, connected to Netgear wireless router
for other PCs and the bridge to SB2.

My library consists of FLAC and MP3 tracks, about half and half.

I also have a wired SB2 connected to a Netgear wireless bridge. 
Unfortunately someone else is always using the "real" sound system
(connected to TV, DVD, xbox, etc.) so I am most often relegated to
listening through my PC speakers.

Periodically, there is a (jarring) pause in the initial second or so of
a track.

I can get this to happen pretty repeatably with MP3 files.  I believe
it has also happened with FLACs, but I am not sure and have not been
able to reproduce it.  So it could be an MP3-only problem.

It seems to happen at particular song transitions, and seems somewhat
repeatable.  For example, I'm listening to The Hold Steady, Separation
Sunday (downloaded from eMusic - a fabulous album by the way).  If I
listen to track 2 and let it continue to track 3, I get a glitch
(stutter) right at the begnning of track 3.  However, if I hit next or
prev track to advance to the beginning of track 3, it plays fine.  

Not sure it's related, butafter playing a while the softsqueeze app
seems to lock up and must be closed and restarted.  Usually after I've
been away from the computer.

I'm ready to devote whatever time and attention is required to get this
fixed.  Thanks (Richard presumably) in advance for the help!
