You should only see the above debug with the direct file access option
set - can you confirm that this is actually set at the time it occurs?

When it is used it won't me more stress on the hard disk as squeezelite
will read from the disk rather than LMS, so it avoids carrying the audio
data into LMS and then through a socket to squeezelite.  Instead
squeezelite reads it direct from the disk.
