Re: "Brought my internet radio station into Gemini"
At one point I looked into Azuracast, which I believe integrates liquidsoap. It's pretty sweet but complex.
Mine is using Music Player Daemon, with an app I wrote (the chatbot) that connects to it and controls it, ensuring there's always music in the queue.
I know what you mean about the client disconnects - for MPD, I had to set a global sample rate + bit depth + channel count. Usually if any of those parameters change between tracks it disconnects clients, which makes sense.
MPD supports setting it per-output - but if you do the global setting, that also enables crossfading between tracks with different properties, since they all get normalized.
