If you're new to the Squeezeboxes, a few comments are in order.

People on this list know most of this stuff, but forget that newcomers
don't.

The Squeezebox is a "thin" client (the "slim" in the name), so there's
not all that much in the box itself. A processor, a software DSP, stuff
for the display, the DAC, some memory for a buffer, a network interface,
power regulation, a few other things). Oh, the wireless card if you have
a wireless one. 

Most of the "decisions" are made in the server, which is open source
and easily updated or modified.

Almost everything you wrote about is really coding in the server, not
the squeezebox itself.

So when people say "it's not the squeezebox", what they mean is, it's
not something that needs firmware updates, therefore it is easy to
fix.

There are people on the list who can answer, in more details, whether
what you're describing is a bug, whether it's been fixed in the beta
releases already or not, and how to go about getting it fixed. One of
the things that isn't clear about the squeezebox initially is that
there are so many music formats, so many methods of accessing the
server, etc, that not all options get properly checked out and
sometimes bugs slip through.
