Hi - running SqueezeLite and LMS 8.1.2 (latest versions) on my Pi4 I found there was serious rebuffering on my Pi and SB3s earlier this year when playing FLACs unless I specified "-a :::0". More recently I noticed some background/popping noise on the Pi's headphone jack unless I specified "-a 120:4::0".
The wiki says the following about the -a option: "-a <b>:<p>:<f>:<m> Specify ALSA params to open output device, b = buffer time in ms or size in bytes, p = period count or size in bytes, f sample format (16|24|24_3|32), m = use mmap (0|1) https://www.max2play.com/en/wiki/command-line-options-for-squeezelite/ Frankly I have no idea what this means! - which buffer is affected and how do I know if the specified numbers are in ms or bytes? - what is "period count" - which sample format? Surely the FLAC is what it is? - what is mmap? Any insights, or just a reference page, would be much appreciated so I can understand more as to what is going on.
