i havent had much time to do any additional intensive testing, but i have been seeing a pattern - i _think_.
if sync breaks (much rarer now), then it does so when BOTH the following conditions are met: -> transitioning TO a vorbis file. higher bitrates seem to increase the likelyhood of it happening. -> my qnap's processor is _very_ busy doing something else, such as accepting a large SMB transfer (~GB) from the network. if i load the processor in the middle of a vorbis track, sync also starts drifting audibly (i had 2 SBs right next to me on my desk for testing). but it returns once the load drops again. however, if a song transitions meanwile... see above. the odd thing is, it still seems as if an MP3 file is required for sync to return - even after the CPU load has dropped back to normal. -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65870 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
