If using the ondemand governor, running single threaded will cause the core that it is running on to run at a higher speed, and top will show that core using less CPU%, relative to core speed. Spreading the load across multiple cores, from what I have seen, results in the cores running at a lower core speed, but top shoing them using more CPU, because they are running at aa lower core speed. I suspect if you run the test again, 1.6-dev and 1.6 with multi-thread, but fix the core speed, by setting the performance governor, you will see what I mean. If you think I've got it wrong, I can look again, but this is the behaviour I have been seeing on both ARM CPU with multi-core and x86_64. The good thing is, from my point of view, and I'm just grabbing these numbers, from my WB Dual right now Code: cpufreq stats: 996 MHz:7.62%, 792 MHz:0.99%, 396 MHz:91.39% (47688) You see that. >90% spent at the lowest core speed, while upsampling 44k1 -> 352k8, 2x threads, for the last 2 days. Sure, the CPU% use looks higher, but if that had been using the single-threaded version, it would be the other way round. I suspect >90% at 1G core speed, but showing much less CPU% use. I think Triode has taken the patch upstream that enables it by default. I guess we could go back to not-enabling it by default, like I originally had with the 'z' option, but I really see no need to do that. There's plenty of smoke and mirrors here. Like, we know he load avg numbers generated by the 3.0.35 kernel on the Wandboard are artificially high. You need to know what you are looking at, rather than just taking a "headline" figure as being accurate.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite
Everything has been going fine for the past 6 months. Just this week I noticed that I've lost 2 picoreplayers from the LMS server. Now, I can connect to each of them via the picoreplayer URL (http:\\ipaddress:8077 and one is WIFI, one is wired). I've tried 1.15e and 1.14d images. Both load up just fine. Once they booth, they are available via the picoreplayer URL but they do not show up on LMS. The server is Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.3 running on Ubuntu 12.04. The interesting thing is 2 other players continue to work just fine (Jive on the PC and iPeng on an ipod). I've been reading and searching and cannot find any information that fixes the issue. I can ping to the devices from the server, and I can ping the server from the devices. But, the devices do not show up in the LMS server interface.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite
Hi I'm using 1.15.e and I'd just like to say thanks for all the work. I have one issue that has got me stumped thou/ I'm using a wifi dongle and while it will connect to LMS and will play music over wifi for some reason ssh server and the web interface don't work over wifi. Also it doesn't respond to pings over wifi. Anyone had any similar problems? Any idea where I might start to debug this? It won't detect any of the usb keyboards I try, so connecting it to a monitor has been of little help and everything works fine with the wired connection so ssh over that hasn't been much use.

I tried different names and IP addresses. After making the changes, I can still get to the PI via the picoreplayer URL but no luck on seeing it in the LMS server. I can run TOP but I'm not sure what to look for to confirm squeezelite is running. Would this message be an indicator it is running?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite
I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but I just got my Raspberry Pi today and loaded your PiCorePlayer and that process couldn't have been any easier! I have it and my SB Radio connected to my LMS which is running on a laptop and the Pi and the SB Radio are synchronized. My question is how can I connect the Pi to MySqueezebox.com. I see the option on my iPhone and iPad to "Switch to mysqueezebox.com, but it doesn't work for the Pi. My laptop is old and tired, and I really don't want to have it running all the time just to be able to listen to Pandora over the SB Radio and the Pi. Until today my SB Radio had always been connected to MySqueezebox.com so I wouldn't need my laptop and I could easily control everything with my iPhone or iPad, but since I can't get the Pi to connect to MySqueezebox.com, so I switched the SB Radio to connect to the LMS along with the Pi so I can sync them. So to make a long story short, can I sync the SB Radio and the Pi together and control them with my iPhone without needing a computer running LMS? If so, please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

When looking at the top command I would see what you described and it would go away right after I switched to the I2S-audio Digi (HifiBerry I2S Digi) option. Well as it turns out...I don't have that option. I have the I2S-audio DAC (HifiBerry or Sabre9023) option. The confusing part was selecting either made the same visible change to the OUTPUT SETTINGS hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry and because of this I didn't think too much about it. Well it's the little things that matter. And with your help the mystery is solved. The only thing that remains is...why did it work for so many months and then it didn't... I may be back.
