On the subject of SoftSqueeze behaviour...

I use it very successfully to listen remotely through an SSH tunnel,
with music transcoded from FLAC down to 320kbps MP3s (oh the joy of DSL
Max). I'm not sure whether it's anything particular about this
configuration but I've noticed a small problem with it for quite some
time (at least 2.0 onwards, I think, and it's still the case with 2.6).

Normally, tracks transition from one to the next with no problems, but
if I pause SoftSqueeze towards the end of a track, when I resume it one
of two things will happen in a repeatable way (not sure what makes it
choose one of these two behaviours, but I always seem to get one or the
other):

1. Play will resume until the end of the track and then the sound
stops - the player will continue to report "playing", but the track
won't advanced and the time stops advancing.

2. Play will resume and progress to the next track but the player
continues to show the previous track name. From this point onwards the
track display is "one track old".

I'm quite happy with SoftSqueeze and like it very much (it's far more
convenient than listening to the stream.mp3 ever was), but I was
wondering whether it was just me?

My server is 6.5 (pre-split-scanner) running on Gentoo Linux, but it's
been this way for as long as I can remember.

I'm happy to transfer this to a Bugzilla report if that's more
convenient - it's pretty low priority but something I've been meaning to
mention for a while.
