I'm seeing 3 main problems:
(1) powersaved periodically interrupts the music somehow. I discovered this using top, but I'm not 100% convinced it's just a processor usage thing because even if I renice powersaved all the way down and SoftSqueeze all the way up the problem persists. Killing off powersaved solves the problem but I worry...what am I potentially doing to the machine by killing powersaved? Might it overheat or run the fan unnecessarily or something?
This sounds like a hardware interrupt problem to me. Has anyone else had this problem, or would like to comment?
(2) When I switch tracks there's often a hiccup. It seems sometimes to be worse when I switch tracks repeatedly in a short span of time. I don't seem to get buffer underruns or other messages when this happens.
I might know the cause of this problem; this can happen on Linux with some sound cards. I am working on a fix for this.
(3) I am seeing periodic buffer underruns that look like this:
1709413 [Player Thread-27] INFO audiobuffer.verbose - audio buffer underrun
1709416 [Player Thread-27] INFO audiobuffer.verbose - audio buffer underrun
Sometimes they coincide with a hiccup in the sound, but I don't think they do always.
If they do coincide with a hiccup in the sound this suggests that the audio buffer in Softsqueeze is empty. This may be due to a network or slimserver issue. These messages can happen at other time, for example the end of a track.
I'm also sometimes seeing this: 979432 [Thread-4] WARN search - checking now ... -1 1157307 [Thread-4] WARN search - checking now ... -1
Don't worry about these messages, it is just debug and I keep forgetting to fix this in the code!
