Yes that would be a good baseline. While MPD and SL have the capability for sound manipulation/conversion/etc. it can be bypassed to allow bit-perfect play back. A long time ago I experimented with Alsa-Player, it sounds better than anything and just like APlay imo. If I had the know how or were a manufacturer I'd use APlay or AlasPlayer for sure. I good programmer with enough time/money/resources could do this... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106537 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
