I normally use the main interactive FLAC stream as well and that was where I first noticed it. It also happens on the mellow interactive stream. I just tried on the main normal stream and the delay between my Squeezebox Touch display and Material Skin was 28 seconds. Yes it always happens but the delay is not constant. I have seen as low as 13 seconds and as high as 28 seconds. The delay only happens on RP streams and nowhere else. I will investigate the cometd status updates and report back.
