I was working on improving the synchronization of my airplay bridge that uses the core of squeezelite. It was driving me crazy as I experienced a small 50 ms delay at the beginning of every track, even in a playlist (was late by 50ms). That delay would be corrected by the sync algorythm quickly, but I could not avoid it. Then after many tests I tried with the real squeezelite and saw the exact same problem, which led me to think that this is due to a delay introduced by each decoder (mp3, flac ...). Then I tried with pcm files and did not see such delay either on squeezelite or on my bridge.
Can anybody confirm/has observed that problem? If this is the case and if this is a fixed value per codec, then wouldn't it make sense to add a few silence frames at the beginning of every decoded stream - that would be a "magic-by-codec" value LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
