Jacob-- You'd have to get Vidur to confirm this, but I don't think it had to do with the processor being overtaxed or anything like that... I seem to recall him saying something about the FFT function just working completely differently than when using MP3 and PCM, so the fps is a bit lower... But this was a long time ago and I can't recall any exact details...
There was a bug about this, though: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=900 Jacob Potter Wrote: > On 7/28/05, Pat Farrell <pfarrell (AT) pfarrell (DOT) com> wrote: > > In practice, you would have to balance the increased network traffic > and > > CPU needed to handle twice as much TCP/IP traffic, error processing, > > retransmissions, etc. against the smaller data used sending flac. > > This probably also clanks more memory, making the memory controller > > work harder, etc. > > I notice a distinct drop in the visualizer framerate when using > onboard FLAC decoding, so there's a pretty big CPU hit.
