It helps to smooth out network flows do that there are no gaps especially when playing live radio. The size of the buffer is under your control - see the Mysb.com Player / Network/ Radio station buffer size. If the buffer is not full then to fill the buffer will depend on the station bit rate and whether it is a live station or not. If a user is playing a podcast or a "Listen Again" program this buffer will be filled within secs but for a slow live station, the network activity will continue for a few minutes. Also consider once buffer is full there will be network activity keeping the link alive as some data will be unacknowledged. So most of the last few minutes of activity will just be small TCP packets. "Power off" with Squeezboxes is not like an FM radio - it just changes the screensaver. The current network behaviour probably stems from the fact that players mainly played local media and network traffic was no an issue as well as in N. America mostly there were no volume charges for data. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82144 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
