Today as was able to do some more testing. Finally I suceeded in playing
back wav files without any gaps:

1. First thing I found out was that SlimServer is by default configured
so that wav files are transcoded by the server to FLAC format.

2. By disabling transcoding of WAV to FLAC I could play back my test
WAV files without any gap. So far so good. So gapless WAV playback is
fine!

3. However when I play back native FLAC files (or WAV files that are
transcoded by the server to FLAC format) I hear some noise at the
transition between the tracks.

4. To find out how this "noise" looks like in the waveform I feeded the
line-out of my SB3 to the line-in of my PC and recorded the transition.
Then I looked at the waveform using Audacity. What you can see is that
there is no real gap (no silence) at the track change. However it seems
as if there are some samples missing!

Are you refering to the following bug:

It seems to be a similiar problem if not the same. Although I do not
see that 0.5 seconds are missing but I guess this is just a rough
number.

So for you FLAC playback is working fine. Might this depend on the FLAC
version you are using? Which FLAC version are you actually using?
