There are 2 independant "processes" in castbridge (or upnpbridge):

- the modified squeezelite that receives the stream (GET) from LMS and
stores it in a local buffer, so data are received whenever LMS sends
something. There is no other timeout than the TCP one (I think, I need
to re-check)
- the UPnP webserver part, that receives a GET from the UPnP player and
responds in chunks or not. Whenever something is available in the
buffer, this part forwards it to the player. This is where there is a
timeout <max_read_wait> where the bridge closes the connection if the
buffer is empty for too long. Of course, the player always has the
possibility to close the connection if he wants to on his own timeouts

I don't know where I would put a larger constraint on LMS compared to
native squeezelite. Do you think of a special case ?
