I haven't experienced these personally, but the fact they happen even
with internet radio tells me this has nothing to do with power, CPU load
or ALSA tweaks, because of the low data rates involved here. Most likely

I think squeezelite talks to ALSA rather than pulseaudio?
Here is an example of how to access ALSA devices from a LXC container:

Not sure I understand. You have installed LMS in Debian in LXC
container. Then you installed squeezelite in the same debian on the same
container?
For a test you could install squeezelite on the host system with easy
access to sound hardware.
