I'm trying to stream Spotify via SqueezePlayer and face some strange
problems. Maybe you can help me finding out the cause?

When I start a stream via Spotify it plays too fast in the beginning.
For me it sounds like a lot of frames are dropped.
This settles down after some waiting time when the song starts to play
correctly without dropping frames.

The spotifyd log has a lot of the following messages
--------
[00:16:10.156459] music_delivery:416 called with num_frames: 2048
[00:16:10.157241] _streambuf_write:263 player: 0 wrote 2106 new bytes

[00:16:10.157973] music_delivery:566 streamed frames: 643072 can't
write: 16 rate: 88773 / 44100

I searched that on the forum and found several threads where you are
asking if FLAC tracks are streaming fine (yes they are) or if the
Spotify Self Test works (for some reason it says 'Streaming from
Spotify Failed' - though through starting on Squeezeboxes/SqueezePlayer
gives me a stream).
I finally found a thread where you ask to disable Spotify->FLAC
streaming (i.e. forcing PCM streaming  ...
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90895).

This resolves the problem for me (yeah!!), so I think we can conclude:
- Spotify download is fast enough
- my network is fast enough
- FLAC conversion on the server has trouble (probably my server is too
slow - it's a SheevaPlug)

I wouldn't expect dropped frames though, but rather many rebufferings
in SqueezePlayer.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your help!
