Sorry to go off-topic here, but since you have a Cubox, can I ask this:
Is the Cubox USB implementation better than the Raspberry Pi's? By which

My Wandboard should arrive Thursday. Looking forward to that.
Two quick questions:
1.Is it possible to have the Wandboard output audio on SPDIF and analog

2.Will the JS board come with trigger outputs?

Hi,
I only recently discovered the LMS and I am very pleased with all its
features and its nice gui! As there are not many native players around I
started with a Raspberry Pi with squeezelite and my iPhone and various
Android tablets as controller. Besides the Raspberry I have various DLNA
Media
Initially you shouldlook at two issues
1. Delay in creating the MP3 stream - this depends on host LMS, cpu
power, comporession progfram (e.g. lame, shin)
2. Player such as mplayer will cache some data before playing it - if
mplayer has too big a cache you will get long startup.
There is no server side caching. It's the client side buffering that
determines it.
If I were you I would look into more Squeezebox compatible players, then
you can also sync them and control the volume.
Long term, even a 10s delay will not really be fun to use.

You could enable the upnp/DNLA plugin in LMS and use your clients that

but for playback and control on the client itself it works very well.

Oh, I agree. I like them both. My question is whether there is
something similar with an integrated USB DAC.

There are a number of possible issues - usually the podcast's MIME is
part of the problem. Without links to check nobody can help.
