Hello community :)

After following the pcp project for a looooong time I decided to take
the next step after spotify pulling the plug and the amazing Mr. Herger
coming to the rescue once again. (many "thank yous" Michael!)

First I'll start by saying I was *very* impressed by the simplicity
effectiveness and performance of the rpi+pcp+lms combo. I only made a
quick test with pcp  as a player (usb connected speakers) and as I
expected all this time one of my future projects will definitely be a
pcp portable player with all the jivelite+touch screen goodies etc

So big kudos to the pcp team and many "thank yous" as well. Keep up the
amazing progress guys!

Now since my current needs called for a server combo I set aside the
speakers and focused on serving my transporter + radio (boom is
currently offline for 
the time being but will be joining the herd soon)

All _sort of_ worked as supposed to but there are some isssues:

- the connected to lms clients (transp + radio) appear to connect and
disconnect every 10 secs or thereabout...no this does *not* appear to be
an _exact_ period but more of a rough description of the behaviour ie
client is connected......after 10 secs or so disconnects.....after 1sec
connects again...after 10secs disconnects etc

- everything is wired nothing is wireless. a ping -t to the pcp shows no
dropouts and all latency is 0ms as expected

- when a  player is playing a radio stream there are *no* audio-dropouts
during all this connecting-disconnecting..I assume because of having
full buffers and because the disconnection lasts only 1 sec or so

- the observation of said disconnections came while managing the radio
through orangesqueeze where one can see the radio appearing and
disappearing from the list of available players.

-this can not be an orangesqueeze problem since the transporter gives an
audible sign whenever it loses connection to server (the digital
outputs/inputs make a distinct clicking sound upon
disconnection/reconnection)

-like I mentioned all is wired and I also tried connecting the rpi to a
different ethernet port using a different cable


So these are my strange findings so far and I hope someone can chime in
with some suggestions cause I'm out of ideas.
