Can you run Softsqueeze without the -Dskins=headless and then ignore
the display and use as if headless (i.e. do not do anything at all with
Softsqueeze UI) to see if problems happen. Make sure after Softsqueeze
starts you select a different window and do no SoftSqueeze UI action
whatsoever
It's ALSA I'm using. I don't actually have X installed on the box I'm
afraid - it's very minimal just for playing audio. Could that be causing
problems with SoftSqueeze even in headless mode do you think?

It's a possibility and worth checking but it may require creating a
special headless build with no GUI libraries to test.

Well, if you want I could install X (but not sure if/when I could get
round to it today) however I'd rather avoid it. It depends how much of a

I am only doing basic maintenance on Softsqueeze to keep it runnig with
new version of Java and Squeezecenter. If I build a no GUI version would
be only to test headless issue to isolate the problem.
However, this does not stop anybody else from doing so but as I see it

I agree squeezeslave is the no-gui player, it's just unfortunate that it
has a major flaw and is not being developed any more. Well, if you could
build a version, just for testing, it'd be really appreciated - but no
pressure :).
Perhaps someone else might take up an interest in persuing the
I'd be really interested in seeing this issue resolved. I've had the
same problems reported here for a long time and I'd never considered
that it might be because I don't have X. I assumed that -Dskin=headless
would switch off all GUI routines.
If this could be fixed it would be great.

I'll only try to reproduce with Softsqueeze headless issue.
What type of processor ? Does it have HyperThreading or multiple cores

Assuming SC is running and Softsqueeze has just been started.
Also make sure SC and Softsqueeze are running on the same system.

I assume when Softsqueeze is running, it is running in a shell with its
own window. I want you to get a thread dump of Softsqueeze when it is
stuck.
From another shell prompt window - find out the process number (pid) of
the Softsqueeze process and issue the following command
kill -QUIT pid
Attached is the thread dump. The process continued to play the track
while stuck for a minute or so before spitting the following out to the
console:

Is there any other app that could do audio at the same time (e.g.

I have the same problem. I can't listen to NPR radio with
