It's that I purposely do not do gapless for short tracks as it causes issue with state machine sync between LMS and UPnP. Normally UPnP is supposed to publish events captured by the bridge that synchronizes LMS based on these. Such events are change of tracks but the issue is that some players have faulty eventing or don't do it at all (UPnP is just a CF wrt to compliance to standard). So I have to do polling at a reasonable rate (1Hz) but then short tracks create problem in gapless (one playtrack and one waiting track) so I miss the track change and LMS is stuck. The solution for short tracks is to not do gapless: send track N, wait for it to end, inform LMS, get track N+1, send it to player and so on. In gapless, I send track N, as soon as player has *started it and* consumed it fully (in buffers), I ask LMS for N+1 and so on.
