Thanks for the workaround to re-encode the flac files, that worked well
and eleminated the stuttering for me :)
There is just one side effect, I wasn't able to play a subsection of a
flac file anymore.
In my use case this means I have single flac files that contains a
complete album or livesets. Additional files with cue sheets are used to
navigate to each song individually. With the above fix I wasn't able to
play a specific song anymore, instead squeezebox server stopped playing
and I got bored with silence.
So I have adopted the re-encoding fix to allow playing of subsections
again:
Code:
--------------------
flc flc * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ -
--------------------
As sox isn't able to cut out subsections of a file this fix uses flac
itself to re-encode the data.
I didn't measure if flac might costs more CPU cycles compared to sox ;)
