It's been reported the SoundBridge can be picky wrt WiFi APs, with some working a lot better than others. Actually, that's just how WiFi always (not) works ;) What I can tell you is that I have no problem with my SoundBridge (Roku), and I'm streaming WAV *only* due to my library being FLAC-only. But then one thing I had to do was to find a channel that was a bit less crowded than the others, due to having several dozens DSL boxes in the neighbourhood. > Just been scanning the sources seeing if I could do a quick local fix by > patching src/plugins/ssc-ffmpeg.c but it seems thoroughly wedded to .wav The code only does decoding to WAV.

Plugins in 1696 do work, but you'll need to prevent ssc-ffmpeg from loading if you want to use ssc-script. You'll also need wavstreamer for that. >> Just as dead as mt-daapd.

Seeing how you have a Pinnacle SoundBridge, you can't use a DAAP server. Those devices only support RSP (Roku have an exclusive license to DAAP), and mt-daapd is the reference implementation for RSP. ISTR SlimServer/SqueezeCenter supports the SoundBridge, but it doesn't seem to work so well. I'm not sure they implement RSP, though. Then there's my rewrite, but it won't build on Lenny without some help (signalfd syscalls headers), I should check that out sometime. See <http://blog.technologeek.org/2009/06/12/217> for some info on this rewrite.
