Sorry, Yes, I didn't think you had "POP" in the logs. I just meant that I've hadn't noticed it. I'll have another listen to the url stream from staresy more closely. The value is how much data needs to be in the decode buffer (in KB) before starting playback. "threshold=204800" is what you should see in the logs using a server side output threshold = 50. "threshold=20480" is what you should see using a value of 20. If you look at Player/Squeezebox.pm you'll see that the outputThreshold is set differently to handle different stream formats, like higher bit rates or higher sample rates. The value can also be overridden in a protocol handler. Both ogg and opus have a default outputThreshold of 20. I suspect that 0 was used for aac back when were very few aac streams and most were not streaming anywhere near the 320@48Khz used by the BBC. As a test I set the outputThreshold to 0 for ogg and tried playing 320@48Khz ogg stream and I get similiar behaviour to what we're seeing with aac and 0. Again thanks for testing. I don't know what else I can do with the aac decoder, so if changing the default aac output threshold server side doesn't break any other streams, I'll create a pull request to have it changed in the dev branch of LMS.
