Reliability problem when running on linux with avahi providing mdns

I managed to get it working on OSX without any issues, so seems to be related with raspberry pi avahi-daemon.

Yeah i'm not really sure. It does seem to be specific to Avahi as an mdns implementation, when avahi becomes inaccessible on the local system. Related to volumio/Volumio2#40

Maybe there's something that could be done in the library to work around this problem? volumio has some error handling which seems to pretty much amount to "catch the error and just tell it to try again" but that sounds scarily like it could cause crazy infinite loops if avahi is just totally down. https://github.com/volumio/Volumio2/blob/982d6ea2ae169b6d139866336b0ea81141ddc0de/app/plugins/system_controller/volumiodiscovery/index.js#L194

this should be resolved if you update to version 0.2.0 which does not use mdns
