Hey all, I’m having continuous playback interruption while listening gmusic allaccess songs on Mopidy 0.19.5 running on raspbian.  
Mopidy is the only service running on pi, mopidy cpu usage is ~20% and ram usage is ~45%  
Problem seems related to audio buffer size (log attached) but I can’t find any way to change it’s configuration. Can you please help me?

Strange, currently we don’t have anything exposed to control the sizes of the various buffers, but I’m working on a branch which will be adding something like this which hopefully would help for this case.

Is there any update on this scenario? I’m seeing exactly the same thing, unfortunately…
