As near as I can tell on my Mac, it looks like a similar pattern. I assume it is the 'Perl5.10.0' process that's responsible for sending the data. While SBS is stopped, there is a continuous 'background' level of network traffic with a rate of about 75-90 KB/sec. This must be other processes that are running, although the computer is essentially idle. When SBS is running I see the same background level for most of the time, so any additional network traffic caused by having SBS running is all but negligible compared to other background tasks. Right at the end of a track this network traffic spikes at around 1.5-2 MB/sec for a few seconds, and the Perl5.10.0 process jumps to around 12% CPU activity. It's difficult to tell whether this spike occurs exactly at the end of the track or 10 seconds before, as I'm guessing that the activity monitor has a bit of a lag. So certainly this doesn't point to any obvious reason why network traffic could have any effect on sound quality during all but the last seconds of a playing track. -- chill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
