I haven't found SqueezePlay to be unstable, but I have seen the memory corruption crash on occasion, but never found a way to reproduce it consistantly so I could track it down. Squeezeplay defaults to 16 bit sample size regardless of the source material. Try setting these environment variables in squeezeplay.sh. export USEALSASAMPLESIZE=0 export USEALSABUFFERTIME=100000 export USEALSAPERIODCOUNT=4 My experience has been that pulseaudio is very cpu intensive as compared to a strictly ALSA audio chain. That's the cost of the additional flexibility I guess. Try the 'i386 pulseaudio build' (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezeplay/linux/squeezeplay-pulse-7.8.0-1188-i386.tgz/download). It has no jive_alsa process. I still haven't had a chance to investigate the images that don't display yet. But just try it to see if there's any stability and cpu usage differences. There is also the Jivelite or the Material Skin + Squeezelite option you could try.
