but they're very weak; it's not impossible to find bad network hardware introducing bit errors in patterns that get past TCP checksums. I've seen it myself. > In addition to this FLAC has built-in checksums. and I think that's much better protection, fortunately. cheers, calum. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
