First thing first, dev-12 works great for me.

I have looked into the logs, and I can correlate the audible "soundstage
shifts" in my sync group (SB3 and AE, wired, 3 meters apart) to
Slim::Player::StreamingController::_CheckSync "resync:" events.

I noticed that when the SB3 resyncs, typically at the beginning of a
song, usually no audible shift happen afterwards. If the software player
resyncs first at the beginning of a song, usually the SB3 will resync
moments later, with an audible shift. 
With the SB3, resync logging and audible shift happen at the same time.
With the software player, the audible effect seems to be delayed by the
value of the network buffer option.
I also looked at an SB3 sync group, one wired and one wifi; resync
events are a rarity, even over track changes. 

I tried setting the "Minimum Synchronization Adjustment (ms)" option to
1000 on my software player to see the typical values of "playPoints:",
then set it to 30ms, most playPoints being under this value. This
removed the audible "shifts", but degraded sync quality.

The exercise is probably vain. With sources something about 6 m. apart
instead of 3 m., when a sync event happens I cannot perceive any audible
shift. And I ran this test on my "soft" LMS VM machine anyway.

I did not resist ordering a Zipp mini any longer... Can't wait to put it
in service as a stand-alone squeezebox :)
