[PROBLEM] Airplay stuttering since moOde 9

[cramcram]

@cramcram

I use AirPlay only occasionally (using either an iPhone SE or an iPad Mini as the sender) but it's been working fine for me too.

However, I realized the moOde 9.0.1 players I was using it with were based on a Pi 4B and a Pi 5B, both significantly faster than a Pi 3B+.

To try to replicate your condition, I have been listening this evening to a moOde 9.0.1 player on a Pi 3B+ rendering audio via AirPlay from my iPad streaming from Qobuz and Spotify. WiFi was the networking medium.

I heard once in a while what might be characterized as a glitch or stutter though certainly not what I would call regular.

Have you tried increasing the Buffer length in the AirPlay settings in moOde? I arbitrarily bumped it to 0.5 and now haven't heard any artifacts in 30 minutes of a Brahms trio where it would be immediately obvious. I probably overshot and could fine tune the buffer length if need be.

YMMV.

Will try the buffer settings, thanks for the hint.
