Hi Jaroslav,
I've tested the patch. It works fine. I didn't experience the original issue with high CPU utilization after applying the patch. When is the next planned release?
Thanks! PPP

Just to remind what the issue is - while switching from one web radio station to another there is a high CPU usage for about 20 seconds.
Because
of that high CPU consumption almost all other processes are blocked.
20 seconds is only due to 32bit kernel on RPi. On 64bit machines the boundary value is usually many orders of magnitude larger, basically making the method never finish.
Could you try this patch?

It should prevent the big copies which are definitely nonsense and this change does not hide the real problem.
