When a source is shared (e.g., elektro being accessed directly by
switch, and indirectly via a random in hartX) some mechanisms are used
to enforce metadata consistency. They might be related to your issue,
although I don't see it clearly yet.

Let me illustrate quickly with the following example:
  out(x)
  out(fallback[y,x])
Here x is shared. Suppose at first x is played by both outputs, then
the second one switches to y. The first output keeps playing x,
pulling a stream from it. When the fallback comes back to x, there
will have been a gap in its stream. Notably, the last metadata from x
seen by the second output will be irrelevant. We might now be 5 tracks
later, and in a middle of a track. So a special mechanism is used to
insert, possibly in the middle of the current track of x, the metadata
corresponding to that track.

Although I don't know of any remaining problem with that device, it is
a non-trivial one that can be bugged, or simply surprising. In any
case, it explains that you can't hear anything: it's purely a metadata
issue.

In order to understand better, I would like you to log not only the
song title (which contains the airing date) but also the time of
logging. More precisely, I'm wondering whether the doubled metadata is
instantaneously replaced by another one.

In the meantime, if you want to tinker with this problem, you can try
to change the place where the logging takes place.

Cheers,
