Yes, there are issues related to the fact that disk I/O causes major - from the audio's point of view - pauses. Unfortunately I'm not expert in this area, but this is what you could do:
1. Disable sonogram in Clementine. Yes, this helps a bit, but I was too lazy to investigate, why. :) 2. Try to _lower_ buffer sizes. Larger buffer causes larger read. Eventually I'll look at Clementine 2.x... -- Vadim Zhukov 18 дек. 2014 г. 12:23 полÑзоваÑÐµÐ»Ñ "Marko CupaÄ" <marko.cu...@mimar.rs> напиÑал: > On Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:13:31 +0100 > Marko CupaÄ <marko.cu...@mimar.rs> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > When playing local mp3 files in clementine, there are frequent short > > skips.
