Re: Streaming audio "burps"

G'day,

Its a miracle that streaming media (With whatever quality of service issues
it has) works through Squid. Squid does things "best effort", and doesn't
try to schedule IO between peers in any guaranteed way.

That said, if there's an issue with streaming data going through it then
I'd point my finger at issues in the communication code. Try Squid-2.6
or a Squid-2.7 snapshot and see if there are issues in those versions.
