Probably the least CPU-intensive think you can try is Ogg/vorbis -> Wav. This avoids having to do simultaneous decoding and encoding. You say you have plenty of bandwidth and Wave files are constant bit rate (CBR), which may just possibly help with synchronization. I was wondering whether CBR vs. VBR had anything to do with this issue? Vorbis is inherently a VBR codec, so there is a small probability that this issue occurs when Slimproto uses the average bit rate to determine how many samples to skip and gets it wrong. Do the MP3 files that seem to reset the synch issue have CBR encoding, by the way? I would also mention that your original bug report is valid. -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65870 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
