Isn't softsqueeze a java application? It could be related to dullness in
the library used by softsqueeze to output the sound.
Sometimes, sounds vary whether you're using directsound, windows mixer,

If you have a playlist location set in server settings SS should save a
playlist file in that location - provided the user running slimserver

Another thing to bear in mind is that transcoding is a heavy user of
CPU cycles. However, if you play a format that your Squeezeboxes or
other players can decode natively (mp3, flac, wav, ogg), you can get
away with a pretty modest CPU. Usually :)
