I have been having periodic clicking and popping of audio. When I have

service called gmediarender, so I use the command "sudo killall
gmediarender" When I do, the pi freezes requiring a power cycle to return.

Mmh, not sure what is happening here.

It would be awesome if there was a service or such. The way I start it is
to run
(gmediarender -f "Raspberry Pi" &> /dev/null &)

There is a -d option to run as a daemon and also an option to write a pid
file which helps to write an init script.

I have also noted this behavior when I kill the running process from a
terminal window. I run this headless, so I am SSH'd in and running it from
putty under windows, mostly.

The daemon option should help to run this properly in the background.

Did this go away ? I know there has been some updates in the meantime in the audio drivers for the Raspberry kernel that improved sound quality.

I must confess, I have not checked on this lately. Once with the current
update, I had a reboot which had scratchy audio. I rebooted again and it
was 'better'. I cannot comment more than that. Once it works, it generally
works. Once rebooted, it may appear.

So sounds like this can be closed now.
