cspot seems to be stuck on I2S-4MFlash-1681

[MrNonoss]

Hi there, many thanks for this great media service.

I am running into an issue on the Esparagus Medialink hardware, where cspot seems to be stuck.

It was working previously, and used to stream music from Spotify, via a smartphone. Suddenly it stopped working correctly. I noticed different issues:

1. The device is correctly shown in the list of available players within the Spotify app, but no connection can occur to the speaker
2. Or the speaker is not seen in the list of available players.
3. Sometimes it works for a few seconds then stops

Rebooting the device do not fix the issues, but we may go from one issue to the other

Firmware: I was using a previous version of I2S-4MFlash-xxxx and upgraded to I2S-4MFlash-1681, hopping for a fix, but it is even worse now. Hardware: the Esparagus Medialink is using a ESP32-WROVER-N16R8, and a PCM5100A DAC
