thank you i appreciate that i`m just going to make sure i have this running properly maybe these logs will make me more confident or something and my head will clear from any biases what about these buffer sizes ? lots of wild claims about those out there i dont think i hear much, if any, difference there for someone with a pcm chip that wants the process as clean as can be, not interested in volume control, equalizers, sox resampling -- any advice you can give me on these settings would be appreciated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oshcar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114947 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
