First, very many thanks for squeezeslave!

I have a Squeezebox Boom and Radio, together with the squeezeslave
running on the same server box as SbS.

I've been using squeezeslave on my SbS server box for some time
(months, not years).  I've installed the real-time kernel from Planet
CCRMA http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/planetccrma.html
and after adjusting for delay, everything stays beautifully in sync
etc.

Up to a point...

I filed a bug report here:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16997

With My Music library everything "just works"; everything stays in sync
without me having to think about it.

But, with Internet Radio things get much more frustrating.  My local
radio Radio NZ National (mms://streaming.radionz.co.nz/national-mbr ,
the RadioTime stream is no better, probably worse) causes all my
devices to stop when they're playing in sync.  When I take squeezeslave
out of the sync group, there's no sync problems playing Radio NZ
National between Sb Radio & Boom.  When I play BBC radio through the
iPlayer plugin, the Sb Boom & Sb Radio play in sync, but - wait for it,
squeezeslave pays at 1/2 X speed  (according to my ear; or, was it
2xSpeed - can't remember).  Some radio station streams play ok.

So, My Music is all recorded flac.  Internet Radio tends to be
transcribed by SbS (from mp3, wma aac etc) to flac for distribution
around the players - could this be where the issue is?  If it is, is
this a bug with SbS or squeezeslave...?  Is it caused by a hardware
limitation on the transcribing process (500Mb of RAM, 2Gb swap in
anticipation of expanding RAM sometime).

Or am I completely off track thinking this is an SbS problem, and it's
something to do with squeezeslave?

I feel so close, but yet so far...

Does anyone have any pointers were to start debugging this.  What
component is most likely?
