I'm one of those people who finds it hard to stop trying to solve problems....
I thought I would see what some of the processes were doing. When I start and stop my music source the following happen to the I/O byte counts in synchronisation with starting and stopping the music: 1) wavin2cmd continues to write out a steady flow of bytes (no change whether music is playing or not) - I assume that's because it's a steady PCM stream? 2) flac, which has been reading in a steady amount in but writing little or nothing starts reading and writing a lot more 3) socketwrapper starts reading more data (it never writes much at all) I'm guessing here, but I think that means: My audio card is feeding a stream to wavin2cmd all the time via some means or other, which doesn't change in volume of data with the content, and wavin2cmd writes that out to flac. Flac converts this to nothing much when there is little content, but when music is included in the source, write that out more (I don't understand why it sees more coming in if it is straight from wavin2cmd). I'm not sure of socketwrapper's role in all this. I don't see squeezesvr doing much at all, so I don't understand which process is writing out over the ethernet to my Touch device. I am, however, pretty sure that flac is sending data straight out, so any delay from security software is coming after that. I have ensure my Norton trusts my Touch, and allows all protocols from flac, wavin2cmd, socketwrapper and squeezesvr. I have played with intrusion prevention, anti-spam, and the rest. Turn all security off, stop/restart the server etc. I still get random changes in delay. I sometimes find the delay is stable at around 12 seconds. Stop everything, try again - still 12 seconds. Go away. Come back. It's up to 1.5 minutes again.
