I'm seeing some weirdness with long gaps between songs. I'm hoping
somebody can help me work out what's going on...

I'm running:

SlimServer 6.5.2 (running via systray at logon)
iTunes 7.2.0.34
Windows XP SP2
SqueezeBox 3 on wireless

Most of my songs are AAC or MP3.

Playing songs with buffer fullness displayed I see the following
behaviour..

- A track plays with the buffer showing 100%
- As the track draws to a close the buffer runs down to 0%
- The track finishes with buffer showing 0%
- There is a 5-10 second gap of silence
- The next track starts with a buffer showing 0%
- The buffer rapidly fills to 100% in the first seconds
- The process repeats for each track

My problem is the unwanted 5-10 second gap between songs.

If I then kill SlimServer from the Systray, start slim.exe from a
command line and repeat the test with the same tracks I get different
behaviour...

This time the buffer activity is exactly the same with the absence of
the 5-10 second gap. Of course this is the behaviour I want and would
expect.

The behaviour seems to be reproducible with any set of tracks. No other
settings are changed between tests except for running SlimServer from a
command line compared to via the systray icon.

I've tried switching on a few random debug switches but since I can't
reproduce the issue running SlimServer from a command line they aren't
much use.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance.
