Dynamic Normalization is to much for a Pi Zero to handle.

[JasonLG1979]

See:
dtcooper/raspotify#504

Basically the combination of (the new) dynamic normalization and the CPU spike that generally happens when a track is buffering is just above what the Pi Zero can handle and it throws ALSA into a error loop that hangs the CPU at 100% for a while before finally dying.

There's not much that really can be done I don't think, this issue is more for something to link to if others have the same problem.

The solution is to just not enable dynamic normalization on the Pi Zero. Feel free to close this or leave it open @roderickvd if you like?

A reason to not deprecate the basic limiter I think.

Have your users and you tried with dithering disabled? Maybe the Zero has enough oomph to do one but not both.
