You should look into your wifi setup, because that really shouldn't happen. The SoundBridge can be a bit iffy with its wireless, but it also depends on the AP quite a lot. Not even mentioning the obvious signal strength issues ;) b+g mode sometimes doesn't work that great with some APs, so if you have an old b-only AP lying around, you should give it a try. > It would be nice if there was a simple way (ideally a single > config file option?) of getting the ssc-ffmpeg.so plugin provided > with mt-daapd (and which I believe is responsible for transcoding) > to output mp3 instead of .wav. I looked into the transcoding This is never going to happen in Debian, as we lack encoders for MP3 and other formats due to patent issues. It sure can be done, but there would be no point since it couldn't be used anyway. > Would have submitted this on the http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/ > Feature Requests page but the whole site seems dead and overrun by spammers. Just as dead as mt-daapd. I'd happily package my fork, but Debian currently lacks a crucial build-dep.
