Hello pkscout, I'm the developer of Spotimc.

Here's a brief explanation of how the audio stuff works:
Spotimc serves audio streams to xbmc through an embedded local http server, and due to some restrictions imposed by libspotify's design only one audio stream can be served at a time. Any attempt to fetch another stream while the current one is playing will cause the latter one to end prematurely.

Since Spotimc streams are somewhat "delicate" (and also the source of many headaches...), they may be affected by other services trying to analyze them. For example, it's the case of some lyric scripts that read the raw audio data on their attempt to search embedded lyrics (by using xbmcvfs.File), causing the described premature end of streams.

I've checked out the source of AS searching for such operation, but couldn't find any code trying to analyze streams by hand. The closest thing I've noticed is the fact that it tries to find related .nfo files (which does not affect Spotimc at all). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for your support!
