A bit off topic... my HOPE is that squeezeplay will address some of the shortcomings of the other available software players (SoftSqueeze and squeezeslave). The development the squeezeplay player is actually supported by "slim", and the plan is to support many more audio file combinations - other than just 44.1k for example (some network radio streams are at different rates, and don't play correctly on the other players). The software players don't seem to work as well with other aspects of internet radio streams (or some of the other music services) - with issues such as funny buffering, really slow startup times.
I am hoping that the squeezeplay audio player will develop into a stable product AND that somehow it could be ported into a very low overhead player utility such as squeezeslave, to allow a PC to reasonably emulate the hardware players without using a lot of the host PCs resources. I understand good syncing is also a challenge... I would imagine a reasonable compromise would be to stabilize the behavior of the players delays (if possible), so that it would be possible to tweak other settings (delays) to optimize the sync behavior for a given setup. -- tcutting ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60075 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
