I haven't used my SB1 for some time now but from what I can recall the
behaviour you are seeing is quite normal.

The buffer in the SB1 is much smaller than the SB2/3 and is of the
order of a few seconds of music for flac (which will be transcoded to
wav), probably 10 times that for mp3.

This means that if your server is busy for a second or two doing
something else or querying the Slimserver/SqueezeCenter database it's
quite easy to get a dropout. You don't get the same problem with mp3
since the buffer holds 10 to 20 seconds of music.

The remote seemed to use less server power than the web interface and
was less likely to give problems.

I wasn't sure of the numbers above so if you look here:

you can see the size of the buffers. The numbers there suggest that the
SB1 can only store less than a second of wav data.

Hope this helps.
