May 4 21:17:05 (2012) wlancond[1763]: Scan issued
May 4 21:17:07 (2012) wlancond[1763]: Scan results ready -- scan active
So my question is: is there a way the music player can be made robust to other processes running on the system, like wlancond ?
These dropouts are making the N9 fairly ineffective as a music player, and I had been hoping it might be possible to use it as a main loungeroom music player.

They still haven't responded at all since here...

Despite constant suggestions for simple workarounds, instead of drastic changes.
All you can do is vote, get others to do so, & maybe add some useful ideas there.
I doubt it'll make it into PR1.3 though, it's primarily a bug-fix release for the nastiest bugs.
They barely have enough resources for them, let alone secondary ones & new features.
And it's very unlikely there'll be a PR1.4 and PR1.5

well bluetooth and wifi uses the same antenna and frequencies, you cannot burn the candle on both ends. If you use the both actively at the same time, you cant except that it wont affect the other. Quite many products are using single antenna for wifi&bt functionality.
Increasing buffers would help, or disabling either bt or wifi.

Can this be fixed or not? Simply Y or N?

you can always stream over 3g and usbnet to bt. Streaming over wifi to bt will most likely cause problems sometimes.
I don't remember if there is config files for the buffers. Someone else most likely can comment on that better.

It's unfortunate two antennas weren't used, hopefully management of the buffers can at least partially mitigate this issue.

also if you change /schemas/system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval to 0 value, it disables the search scanning (default value 300 ie every 5 mins). Most likely that will be enough to fix the problems that scan caused.

You can use http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81614 Gconfig GUI, or commandline with:
# gconftool-2 -t int -s /schemas/system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval 0
# gconftool-2 -t int -s /schemas/system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval 0
