Well I've spent more time than my quick evaluation before and it is working good. I think the stutters I was experiencing probably have more to do with cpu usage being taken away from squeezeslave due to multitasking(or hitting a bad webpage) than it topping out. Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue. (unless its the pad itself... or the download throttling applies to streams? don't believe it does...) Checking top and it is inline with what you said it should be. Occasionally it (and pulseaudio) spikes, but nothing unexpected. Stock kernel still. I will need to play with the latency or delay options as switching tracks produces trash every know and then.(have you needed to tweak it?) Anyway good work, thanks again for the port. -- MusicManiac ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MusicManiac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36544 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
