Everything seems to work, and I don't have the nightmare case I had before where playback was not working properly (I can skip etc. quite well), so I think I hit a memory boundary as you suggested. So for future reference Fedora with Freevo 1.7.6 and only 128meg RAM doesn't work very well! It still seems like playback is using more CPU than before, but I will have to do some more testing to find out. In general the whole system is more responsive than before, so I must have been just on the edge of swap last time round. It still isn't as responsive as 1.7.1, but it is just a feeling and certainly not as hideous as last time. If I find out more I will report back. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

If you use pass-thru for digital output you may not be able to control the volume at all. It is just passed to the stereo. I have the same setup and can not control the auto with Freevo. Does alsamixer work for you?

[Freevo-users] Controlling audio, mplayer and Freevo
Hi!, I've bought a new Microsoft's Remote MCE and I'm trying to control volume. I'm using alsa and not oss, but the plugin desactives when I open freevo. It says that /dev/mixer does not exist. Also, I tried to control MPlayer's volume, but something strange happen. I'm using IEC958 and I can't control it with any mixer. I tried alsamixer and I can't control the volume even with Master, just mute the IEC958. I'm lost. I'm trying to set softvol to mplayer and put a initial volume but does not work fine. An initial volume around 50% of 100% without external gain like softvol-max. What did you if you are using alsa ? Thanks - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
