Here is the 'joggler squeezeplay patch' (https://birdslikewires.net/download/openframe/squeezeplay/compile/squeezeplay_v5.patch) that contains the fix for no audio after 5 hours of playback. It's actually a change in how jive-alsa handles/recovers from buggy alsa drivers, it's not specfic to the STAC9202 in the joggler. Hmmm.
