I changed the ALSA parameters such that I am only defining the buffer
length [80:::], and all remains well with the audio quality after a
reboot.
I do like the Audio Output Device>Optional Parameters (Advanced) menu.
It is very good to be able to select each of the four sub-fields
independently (Buffer Size, Period Count, Alsa Format, Use Alsa MMAP)
and to be presented with sensible multiple choice values. Had I found
this screen first, I would have definitely preferred this over typing in
a set of colon separated parameters such as 40::16: or whatever.
However, I found a small bug when I configure /etc/sysconfig/squeezelite
using the Jivelite menu. It currently encodes the Max Sample Rate using
an additional ALSA_PARAMS variable instead of encoding it using
MAX_RATE, which is what the Tomcat/Java/Web GUI code is expecting. The
following example shows the configuration file after the Jivelite code
has written it according to my preferences:
Code:

NAME="-n SqueezeliteWAND"
MAC="-m 00:ob:fu:sc:at:ed"
AUDIO_DEV="-o hw:CARD=M192kHz,DEV=0"
LOG_FILE="-f /var/log/squeezelite/squeezelite.log"
ALSA_PARAMS="-a 80:::"
ALSA_PARAMS="-r 192000"
--------------------
which causes Squeezelite_populate.action to read the ALSA_PARAMS as
192000, reading only the second line. If I now try to fix the
parameters to my intended values using the browser configuration page, I
now get the following file, which seems correct to me:
Code:

AUDIO_DEV="-o hw:CARD=M192kHz,DEV=0"
LOG_FILE="-f /var/log/squeezelite/squeezelite.log"
ALSA_PARAMS="-a 80:::"
--------------------
This is all I could find, otherwise I very much like the Jivelite UI
experience for updating the Audio Configuration. Very user-friendly!
