Snakeoil Music server & Snakeoil its own endpoint

[Snoopy8]

And further experiments suggests that a Pi5 is better than a CM4 (Mercury V2 Streamer) to run LMS 8.5.2. Both are on Bookworm running SO 1.3.1 and with my own real time kernel.  Powered by the same linear power supply. Squeezelite R2 (version 2) on Intel NUC with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, SnakeOil 1.3.1, own real time kernel.

In conclusion, a separate server (LMS) and end point (Squeezelite) can improve SQ.  The quality of both the server and end point also matter.
