This is all correct. At the end of the day, the problem is simple -- and I have a feeling it has already been brought up in the past: there is no way to distinguish between a temporary failure and an expected end of connection. If you add to this that we cannot backtrack in time, it explains why transitions fail with live source: when network disconnection is detected, it is already too late to compute a proper transition.. I agree with you, David: azerty88, could you tell us more on how exactly you expect transitions from live to music to happen? Do you wait for the network connection to drop?
