The plugin starts a separate instance of cdda2wav for each track. The plugin aimed to be simepl by using a common exe to habdle CDs across Windows, Linux and OSX and keep OS specfic system calls to minimum (e.g. on Linux cd specific calls are used to get status of drive/door and cd type in drive - better user feedback) cdda2wav is a ripper not a player - once started it does not provide the capability to "pause" a track rip but it can started at a timepoint in a track. When LMS plays a a track, data stream from cdda2wav goes into a pipe (and OS buffers) and then into LMS input side buffers (e.g. flac) and then into player buffer. It is possible to enable pause (via settings) but if pause is too long cdda2wav may have finished ripping and some audio never gets into buffers. So depending on size of buffers (which is system dependent) when play is resumed track may be cut short. More reliable approach used was to record time position at pause and restarts cdda2wav when play ius restarts - actual delay is system dependent. VLC may be taking the approach of ripping whole tracks into memory in background (with VLC readahead of next track) and so can play /pause track as it is total control of whole track as it a player only system and can use disk / memory to temp store audio data. VLC is mainly a video player and so can play video DVDs and so has more capabilities to handle BD/DVD/CD drive and knows it has to implement schemes to handle big volumes of data and not be subject to drive delays. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
