I would agree, if you are going to use Debian on Raspberry Pi use
Raspbian. It's their recommended OS should get you the best performance
from the box. I'm sure we've had some successful Raspberry Pi users on
here.

Re: [slim] Can SB Handle HTTPS Streams?

If you had a really high grade router or firewall you MAY be able to use
some clever DNAT/SNAT rules to let LMS think it's connecting on 80 when
it is I fact 443 but it is very esoteric and if a user / pass is
required to connect to the https then forget it.

Debian wheezy comes on hard and soft float depending on when you
installed it and where you got the distro.

I think you may have softfloat either in Debian and/or LMS as I feel
that Pi could transcode one stream if using hard float but it would need
confirmation to prove it ( a few years ago I had a 250Mhz MIPS based NAS
which could decode a AAC and encode Flac stream so I think a 700Mhz ARM
should be able) .

Likely the PI is just lacking the processing power to transcode. 
Unlikely to be your ISP or an internet issue.  Simple test to find out.

If that plays without buffering (which I bet it will) then your ISP,

Hi there, I think it is Radioio as I've tried some others which stream
in Mp3 @128 and it seems ok, but Radioio through my ReadyNas ( which is
not very powerful ) plays without any rebuffering ( apart from the
initial connection which they all do ) so it's got to be the pi. Is the
buffering related to the server not the player ?

Update - taking a break from the Internet radio test and trying it
playing flacs from my library and so far it's played for fifteen minutes
without a glitch so it's looking like an Internet issue but I have a
very good high speed broadband so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what it
is causing the rebuffering.

Hi, the settings were: AAC = native, FLAC = faad/flac, MP3 = disabled,
PCM = faad , which doesn't mean anything to me.

Hi there, my network is well capable of delivering anything - there's no
wi-fi involved anywhere it's all gigabit cabled - would LMS need to
convert to flac when playing a radio stream ? - the OS on the Pi is
Debian Wheezy with all updates applied ( LMS is 7.8 ) - whether it's
using soft or hard float I don't know - I have three servers setup on my
network and they all work perfectly except the Pi which plays ok for a
few minutes ( Flac files or internet radio ) then cuts out (I'm assuming
it's buffering ) it's the 512mb of RAM model which I hoped would be up
to the job - but it's looking like it's not - I'll try what you
suggested and report back - than you very much for your input

Transcoding involves AAC to PCM and then PCM to Flac and then sending
Flac to player.

AAC to PCM does not require much processing and IIRC LMS build for ARm
doesn't use Floating point.

PCM to Flac require more processing and this might be the problem - try
disabling AAC toi Flac in LMS Settings/Advanced/Filetypes - send PCM
will load your network even more so you need a good network.

Another possible problem could be your network if it is capable of
delivering Flac stream  to Player.  - what is signal quality on SB3 ? 
Is Pi also wireless to router ?

What OS is on your Pi - are you using the hard float or soft float ?

I've done some progress and moved to
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?102203-uPNP-control-point.
It will take me probably a lot of time to have a first decent version
and then continue and polishing. I'd like to have opinions here. I can
focus on a few things, not in order

1- Synchronisation (very challenging) or at least simultaneous playback
start
2- Perfect gateway: most of the command on SB are on SO, including when
volume is changed on SO, it is forwarded to SB/LMS. That would also
include metadata exchanges 
3- Audio quality : more transcoders on the fly (I don't like that), or
use or replaygain and cross fade
4- configurability : how to setup the system and decide which uPNP
machine can have a SB "buddy" and possibility to have parameters
different for each pair
5- Stability

A PoC version is available - cross finger it will not do bad on your PC
:-)
