armv5 are low powered CPU and I think the processor cannot decode and
re-encode the stream into Flac fast enough.

ffmpeg is a big application built for processors with FPUs so unless
there is a specially tuned build available for your system you have two
choices

1. Just use the MP3 streams
2. Disable Flac stream and Play the PCM stream - this may not work as
resampling may need to happen which is also processor intensive also
v1.01 of the plugin needs a patch to play PCM correctly. A  PCM stream
may also be too much for your network / players.
