You would try playing your source (Tidal, etc) via Airplay to some speakers connected to Pi. This would take the Bluetooth connection out of the picture.
Of course!
Well, until the code change, I was able to connect simple headphones to the 3.5" output of the RPi, playing music through Airplay, with no audio glitch .
Now, to make a test, I turned off the BT Headphone, removing also it from the connected BT device on BT Bluez setting page, changing also the MPD->Local instead of MPD->Bluetooth. Then I plug the cable headphones in the 3.5" audio output. Gosh! Trying to play music from any Airplay source (TIDAL, Amazon Music, Spotify), no sound from the headphone.
Playing instead something from other sources (Radio, music stored in my NAS) the sound comes out from the headphones ! It seems that now the Airplay renderer works ONLY towards BT headphones.
In fact, re-coupling the BT headphones, connecting them, and setting MPD->BLuetooth, the Airplay stream works (even sometimes with glitches...). Very strange, isn't it?
Anyway, making some tests with different Airplay sources, it seems that the one having less glitches is Amazon Music, while Spotify and Tidal have some glitches (but I think that this has nothing to do with the main issue....)
