Personally, that's not a route I would prefer.

Assuming the drift of the timebase (crystal?) in the squeezeboxen is
fairly low but there is some individual variation amongst them, a
better correction would be, at startup time, establish error in the
crystal and correct for it low in the timing chain.

Dropping frames, as you propose, would be audible. Correcting the clock
errors could be done much more fine-grained.
