Thanks for the quick response. I'm afraid I don't know exactly what info I would need to give for a diagnosis. I have just used the ecasound custom-convert.conf supplied with the plugin. This shows (for flac) endian=little bps=16 sample-rate=44100. What other settings do I need to look at? The general set-up is max2play on raspberry pi with squeezelite, SB touches and iPeng as players. The Pi is running ALSA and all the ALSA and ecasound commands seem to work fine when executed from the command line. As I said, the standard custom-convert.conf (for arecord) works without modification - just occasionally I need to restart squeezelite as it loses the sound and also the sound has a tremolo effect if the cpu usage is 40% or more (and the whole thing stops after about 3.5 hours, which I remember reading somewhere relates to the arecord buffer). Playing files over LMS does not suffer from these problems (even at quite high cpu usage), which is why I was wondering the different buffering in ecasound might help. Previously I was using Butt and Icecast on a laptop to stream the line-in, but that was proving to be a pain as the laptop is not permanently connected. I guess I could try and install a similar "broadcast" set-up on the Pi, but it seems like overkill and the Waveinput approach seems so much neater. Apologies if this is still inadequate information, but I don't know what else is "specific" about my set-up.
