Thanks loganc, that's very helpful. Is Tiger the only way to get Java
1.5 on OS X? Is Java 1.5 the only reason Tiger is required, or are
there others? I have OS X 10.3.9 and would love to get sync to work
with SoftSqueeze--that is, without adding yet another $100 to my audio
budget. I really don't need any other feature of OS X 10.4.
I thought I should clarify what Java version you need to use on what
operating systems to get sync working;
On Windows you need Java 1.5 otherwise sync will not work. Early
versions of Java have a large delay in the javasound audio buffer.
With Linux you need Java 1.4 or Java 1.5, but you must be using an ALSA
sound mixer.
Using OS X you may not get perfect sync. OS X 10.3.x ships with Java
1.4, the delay in javasound is much better than Java 1.4 on Windows, but
Softsqueeze will always be slightly behind the SB1/SB2. I have not seen
anything to suggest that Apple have changed the java sound
implementation for Java 1.5 in OS X 10.4.
So why does it work for loganc? He is not syncing with a hardware
player, so as long as the delay is consistent on all the macs then the
audio will sync. Add a hardware player and I think you will hear
Softsqueeze on OSX lag behind the Squeezebox.

Richard
