Without an fpu that's quite good, depending on the stream format. I run SS on a Pentium MMX 133MHz cpu laptop, with an fpu at around 60% cpu playing flac. rpress;636672 Wrote: > When I change tracks the sound will usually stutter.

If you're using ALSA try playing with the -y parameter. The stuttering is caused by the mutex locks in the portaudio callback function pa_callback in slimaudio_output.c Any blocking function calls in the callback is a no-no for PA. Squeezeslave has been this way since I started maintaining it 4 years ago. It's been on my TODO list to fix for a long time but the problem only manifests itself on slow cpus and since the -p option masks the problem, I've had very little reason to bother. rpress;636672 Wrote: > Maybe there is a way to fix this so it doesn't start playing the new > track until it is ready? Not really, track changes are all handled from the server in the slimprotocol connection. rpress;636672 Wrote: > Has anyone worked on autodiscovery of the server? I've never had a request for autodiscovery until now. -- ralphy Ralphy *4*-Classics, *2*-Booms, *12*-Squeezeslaves 'Squeezeslave' (http://code.google.com/p/squeezeslave/) 'donations' (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=LL5P6365KQEXN&lc=CA&item_name=Squeezeslave¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donate_SM%2egif%3aNonHosted) always appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83362 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
