It can also be server related or plugin related , an album a straight
playlist a dynamic playlist or perhaps even music ip or sugarcube
playlist . Or file format related is there any transcoding running .
If there is a lot going on around song transition and server get very
occupied it can drift .
It can also be the server hardware , in 2 ways . Either it's very
underpowered or in some cases have a very unstable clock there have been
cases with very jittery system clocks on some computers and this have
lead to sync problems.
