Thanks again bpa.  Acting on a suspicion, I persuaded the Boom to join a
WiFi segment directly running from the WiFi access point (i.e. not
offered by an extender) and buffering problems went away.  Directly
before I did that, on the extender's segment, it was dropping and
buffering, so I think I *might* have found the issue.  I reconnected to
the dodgy segment and buffering restarted.  However, if you are still
interested (and I admit to being intrigued nonetheless) please find
attached the server log and the answers to your questions...

Other questions:

*How do I connect? * Either via a favourite stored on the Boom (if I'm
near it) or via the menu on the iPlayer plugin accessed through the
Android SqueezeCtrl app.  Weirdly, SqueezeCtrl appears to think this is
something to do with Spotify however if I use the web front end I get
the following highly friendly URL: 
iplayer://live/?hls=http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.m3u8&dash=http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/dash/uk/dash_full/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.mpd&icon=http://radio-service-information.api.bbci.co.uk/logos/bbc_radio_four/600x600.png&radiovis=fm/ce1/c204/09320&onair=bbc_radio_fourfm

*How long does rebuffering take?*  Typically about 5 seconds to refill
the buffer, but its a little variable.

*Live or play again only?* Both

*Does it happen with SomFM?* Yes, instant buffering occurred.
