I've been having similar problems with stuttering in alienbbc but I'm a total newcomer to Slimserver/squeezecenter (bought/installed 2 days ago on Suse10.2) so I've been flailing around a bit and came across this thread...however trawling around mplayer/lame I saw that the -x switch in lame can be a cause of white noise so I tried removing this in the Plugins/Alien/custom-convert.conf file as below (top is original commented out, next is same with -x removed). This cured the white noise problem and allowed me to use settings/filetypes with rtsp to flac and wav disabled but rtsp to mp3 enabled as suggested by bpa - this seems so far to have stopped stuttering problem (well it has for 30 minutes anyway....). Incidentally my wireless network suggests that is generally ok 90%ish at 1500kbps but occasionally drops to zero perhaps causing dropouts?
