I think this is probably covered by bug #2938.
For what its worth, I've had trouble with the server-side decoding

It is indeed odd that the SB1s (with their considerably smaller music

The only difference between an SB3 and an SB2 is the internal antenna
on the SB3 (and some very early SB2s had a different wireless card).
