Not sure of your server platform and OS? Are you streaming to squeezebox or slimp3?
If you have good network bandwidth, but less cpu, you could try streaming as wav and not using lame - (only for squeezebox). ----- Original Message ----- From: "G Kolstad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Subject: Re: [slim] AlienBBC 0.97 and BBC playout problem
Moving LAME.exe to the main slim directory and restarting the service seems to have made the problem less severe. (Even though the web interface said that LAME was already installed correctly). The buffer doesn't always drain immediately and sometimes even fills up (albeit briefly).
CPU usage is still high (almost 100% all the time), and although I can play the stream for a bit sometimes without problem, any use of other computer resources (slim web interface, surfing the web, significant CPU use) results in a buffer drain, with skips and eventual garbling of the playback. In my brief testing, even when I don't use any other resources, the problem can reoccur.
Any other suggestions or do I just need a little more processing power to use AlienBBC effectively with BBC streams?
