Ha! I'd be delighted with a messed up terminal because it would mean
that something is happening :) It makes no difference to remove the
--pass-through parameter.

Well, I kind of assumed that as long as it's token-controlled there
should not be a problem with allowing HTTP, but you could well be right
and it might take me hours to dig in that much. I was starting to
contemplate writing my own Go version of Spotty, since I know more Go
than Rust, but this is a really heavyweight solution to this problem :(

Nope, I'm running on bare metal. And although there might be problems at
the Spotify end, we can still play through a different client, like on
an Android device, with no problems.

Yes, I'd reached the same conclusion - try a new install on totally
different hardware. I wonder if there's some kind of intermittent
hardware failure on the either the network or sound stack in this
machine. It would still be very odd because every other internet stream
is working, but (shrug).

Thanks for all your help on this. I wondered whether you had considered
creating a debugging page somewhere? There seems to be a ton of content
on the forums but it's not necessarily distilled and accessible in one
place and I'm sure you must have ended up answering the same question
more than once. I'd be happy to draft something with what I've found so
far and maybe put it on a Wiki or similar?

Thanks,

Peter
