I know that some companies are using various buffers and that might affect the sound quality. I haven't experimented with it myself, but I've read some articles/posts on the Internet.

About the skips: if the system or disks are busy the buffer might run "out of bits". This frequently happens with hi-rez material played on PSAudio PWD.

This is why I suggested concatenation in advance. There is a problem with Rygel compiled with VLC libraries - VLC does not support gapless. So all VLC devices might benefit from this solution.

Pity...

I meant a "simple web interface", not that the implementation will be simple

Another idea is a Java-based UPnP controller to run on any device. BTW, probably it already exists, does anybody know?
