Static noise from boom m4a file

Boom is connected to squeezenetwork and is set to play an internet radio
station on wake up.

Instead of playing music, the player output static noise (this was NOT the same
buzzing that was a previous bug).

The display showed no sign of a problem (it was displaying the normal clock
screensaver)

I recorded the audio and can send it in if you want.

The recording captures what i did to get good audio:
1. Pressed a preset button which is the same stream that the alarm uses. The
unit silenced for a second, then static resumed).

2. Pressed different preset (soma FM, Groove Salad - which is one of the
defaults out of the box). The stream began playing normally.

3. Pressed the preset button for the station the alarm (as per 1). The stream
played normally.

This is really really annoying. The Boom is only still marginal at serving as
an alarm clock!

In saying that, it had been getting better...
