For latency discussion - see some of the early post in the original "Announce:Wavinput" thread.

If Flac and WAV were disable then SC would transcode into MP3. However, there are some other considerations. If the target player cannot play Flac (e.g. SB1) then WAV would be used. Also if bit rate limiting was enabled then MP3 would be used. > > When I play wavIn:0, sometimes it shows "0, wavin", sometimes "0, wav" > and sometimes "o, flc" -- without me changing the ultimate sound player > I'm using... and I'm certainly not playing flac files... a mystery. > What is displayed is mainly cosmetic for user consumption and the plugin can override it. For example the "0" is the bit rate - and clearly 0 is not correct. I suspect some of the variations would result from using "Tune-in" vs a Favorites entry and if you have been playing around with various players and/or File Types settings. Normally I would expect the wavin audio stream would be converted to Flac before being sent to an SB3. With no loss in audio quality, this is most efficient use of bandwidth and maximises use of SB3 buffer space. The best way to be sure what is exactly happening is 1. Use Task manager (or Process Explorer) and see what applications are running. 2. Enable logging player.source to INFO and look at the log files. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51252 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
