By accident I launched today my player-launching script twice. There
were 2 instances, but "the player" was working so all seemed mostly
normal.
Since audio was scratchy I looked at the machine's CPU load and found
SBS was consuming > 90% of the CPU cycles. 

In the server log I was getting mysb.com login errors.
- I restarted SBS
- I changed mySB.com sync options in the server
- I rescanned the DB
- I brought down one of the network interfaces
- …
I would still be looking for a cause but by chance I saw both
squeezelite processes in the 'top' console. Killed both and SBS CPU load
came back to 1%

The SBS server is colocated with the player. I haven't tried to see if
the same phenomenon happens with a remote server.

The instances were identical, squeezelite v1.0 launched like this:
"/usr/local/bin/squeezelite-i486 -n Prades -m 00:04:01:02:03:04 -b
4096:8192 -c flac,pcm,aac,mad -o plughw:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 -a 10:4::1 -p 96 
-z 172.17.10.11"

I don't know what could be done on the squeezelite side besides a big
fat warning, but since symptoms are quite misleading I thought I'd let
you know.
