Well, I'm currently streaming Radio 1 to my SoftSqueeze player, and I'm
getting a pretty constant "noise". It's just a repeated scratchy
second's worth of something (I must say Radio 1 sounds better this way
:o) But there are no long gaps in it at the moment.

I'm running "top" from a telnet window and can see the following :-

Code:
--------------------
    
  Mem: 60080K used, 1764K free, 0K shrd, 3928K buff, 25856K cached

  364 root     R        828   288  0.7  1.3 top                           
  225 root     S        800     1  0.1  1.2 thttpd

  287 huf      S       1796   188  0.0  2.9 bash                          
  288 root     S       1564   287  0.0  2.5 bash                          
  373 root     S       1508   298  0.0  2.4 bash                          
  337 root     S       1304   278  0.0  2.1 mplayer.sh                    
  338 root     S       1304   337  0.0  2.1 mplayer.sh
--------------------

Which sort of suggests to me that slimserver.pl itself is running at
26MB or so, two mplayer processes are running, the business one of
which is occupying... well it's actually averaging around the 55%CPU
tipping 60+% occasionally... with slimserver.pl taking another 30-odd%.
So I guess it's working too hard and there's almost no memory left!

When I stop the BBC and just play some mp3's slimserver.pl drops to
7%CPU

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by... > sending AlienBBC output as Flac 
or MP3 ... Do I have a choice?
