Doing playout using Kodi and LibreElec, we had issues of disk corruption when using a FAT32 USB flash drive for the content - the first time we play a playlist there would be no issues, but when we go back to the beginning of the playlist using the page-down key, or using x to stop playback and open the playlist again, there would be random jumps during subsequent playout.
Tried various workarounds like using a different USB flash drive, shutting down and restarting the Pi between shows (takes 5 minutes), "safely remove" the drive and re-plug it in between shows.
For a more durable solution, tried
(a) adding a powered USB hub for the Lexicon Alpha sound device
(b) using a USB drive formatted with NTFS instead of FAT32
With this configuration, the Pi seems to recognize the Lexicon Alpha without having to plug it in after the Pi boots up as noted in the previous post, and the playlist playout also doesn't skip. So, perhaps both these points helped.
