Hi guys,

I just wanted to clarify our Bluetooth Plugin's current status.

We had a few users that reported dropouts after a while of playback
(usually ca. 3 hours). We were able to find the source of this error.

The built-in Bluetooth module of the RPi3 is not a high priority for the
system and gets unreliable when the computer has too many other
processes.

We were able to confirm this by running several tests with USB Bluetooth
dongles without any dropouts.

This is especially interesting for people who want to run a BT speaker
as another Squeezebox zone.
Here, the requirements for 24/7 use would be a speaker that does not go
into sleep mode and a BT dongle on the Raspberry Pi.
