It seems that in my case using defaults (i.e. I didn't specify a device at all) isn't the most efficient way to go.

Is hw:0,0 better then? CPU usage is the same for both with the material I own. ralphy wrote: > > jive_alsa will automatically close and reopen the audio device with > plughw: to allow resampled playback of audio streams not directly > supported by the audio hardware. I gather that for jive_alsa it is better to use plughw: to benefit from this feature? Plus jive_alsa uses very little CPU with plughw: so I guess I'll just use SqueezePlay without hacks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ D1eter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69813 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111606 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
