Thanks for this update! After using this version, I no longer have problems with skipping audio. As a bonus, syncing now works great! Can't say if this update would have done anything to fix syncing directly, or if it was the added load on the server having to manage the down-converting to 128 and syncing at the same time... Anyway, I've now got Sync working on 2 Receivers + SoftSqueeze + Squeezebox3. Of course, all the players don't start each track at exactly the same time, but within a few seconds all are playing correctly synced.
