The Pi runs a bit of routing/filtering and applications but it is normally not busy. The players boot fast and network config comes later, almost guaranteed. As a consequence, Squeezelite uses the nil player ID. That's a pain because when multiple players have the nil ID you only see one via LMS, so reaching to every one of them and setting the appropriate "-m" option can take a little time and guesswork. I'm using pCP 3.2.0 but I am fairly confident the culprit is either the Pi server or the switches which take their time learning the MACs. I'm using a MAC-defined VLAN for the players, maybe that doesn't help either.
