Sudden Extremely Loud Static from Cpiped

[jzunker]

I have an unfortunate issue when using cpiped to capture music from an aux device and pipe it into snapcast to play on multiple stereos. Suddenly all of the stereos will start blasting an extremely loud static noise at an inhuman volume. Its quite terrifying! This happens about once a day, but seems to be occurring with more frequency. I believe the problem is linked to cpiped because the system returns to normal playback when I restart the cpiped daemon, but not if I restart the snapcast daemons. Cpiped is running on a raspberry pi with Raspbian Buster.

Anybody else experienced this behavior?

it could be multiple quick firing of silence and detect scripts

give a look at those two commits from my audio2pipe repository, they address this very use case

• ale275/audio2pipe@77ed688 A2PSourceProcess.sh robustness improvement to avoid double pipe filling instances that might happen with record players
• ale275/audio2pipe@34e9e79 A2PSourceProcess.sh robustness improvement to avoid non sequential commands execution that might happen with record players
