My response probably sounded a bit aggressive :). Usually I’m not interacting with potentially sensitive topics, but one get caught from time to time (last time was when I read about “audiophile” solder paste). Anyway, you’re right @triode did an extension of slimproto named loc: so that when p

It was just interesting the various well known contributors on some non-slimdevices forums suggested such a wide disparity in squeezelite buffer size. Maybe the reason for the discrepancy is rather simple: it doesn't really matter. I've been in touch with one of the "give it all the memory you

If a typical WAV track size is ~60MB (worst case ~150MB for some), then I dont get how a 1 or 2GB input/output buffer size is beneficial. While some might see a benefit (no disk activity in between tracks) I would not encourage you to set that high a buffer. I've seen odd things happen in sit

which is to say it reads the entire track into memory before playback (assuming buffer is big enough)? also, with regard to buffers, I have trawled the interwebs and have seen recommendations of a few 100MB for the input/output buffers all the way to 1 and 2gb If a typical WAV track size is ~60
