I've got SoftSqueeze installed on a fairly slow machine (Dell Latitude CPi) running SUSE 9.2, and it almost works great: Everything interoperates properly, I get good sound, etc., but it hiccups every few minutes. I'm assuming this is because I'm working with a fairly old machine. I've installed the Java MP3 plug-in, and I think it worked since SqueezeBox doesn't complain on load anymore (though I didn't see anything pertaining to JMF on my system...does that matter?). Anyway, I hate to give up now that everything is set up...is there any way I might be able to optimize things a little so that playback is smoother?Are you running any other applications on this machine at the same time as Softsqueeze? You could try increasing the priority of Softsqueeze using 'nice'. It would also be worth checking the buffer fullness (you can enable this in the player settings in the slimserver web interface), does this drop during the hiccups?
With the Java MP3 plug-in, you don't need to worry about JMF (Java Media Framework) instructions on Sun's installation page. Softsqueeze does not use the JMF.
