Are you using ALSA or OSS for audio? On linux-2.4 I used OSS because ALSA took up flash space and was causing some people problems. You might want to try experimenting with both to see if one fixes your problem. What is your system load like while mpd is playing? I wonder if something is different i...

What stream are you trying to play? What bitrate and is it shoutcast or something else?

Do you have wireless working with the 2.6 kernel?

Sounds like it would be worth a try. I wonder if you can increase the frequency of the RSS updates to get the bus to crash faster? An 8 hour troubleshooting cycle is a real drag!

What kind of USB hub are you using? There may be some sensitivity to the brand/speed of the hub, I think I've heard this from others before.

Those FTDI errors - do they show up at the time of the crash or before? I wonder if the USB bus is crashing for some reason and taking out both the USB-serial and the flash drive?

I don't think starting the process at boot is going to solve the problem.

Do you see anything interesting in the dmesg output when the USB stick starts having problems?

What filesystem type and size of USB stick are you using?

Unless you're planning on building a mightyohm wifi radio with your wireless router, I think you're on the wrong forum.

Great looking display and a builtin serial interface? Cool!

Seriously?! I will have to try this out! Thanks for the tip!

Making totally finished radios is a little tricky because there is a certain amount of programming knowledge that everyone will need in order to configure the router and set up their presets. I'm not really interested in making a finished radio anyway, because this project is about learning and expe...
