It is futile to expect a non-real time software player running on a non-real time OS to sync perfectly. Regardless of LMS sync protocol or local clock accuracy. If your linux machine decides to launch garbage collection/swap what happens to audio processing? AFAIK Touch used (at least) a custom audio stack. And its software environment was completely under control.
It might be possible to reach similar results with a Pi. Anyone ready to produce the same kind of engineering effort Slim/Logi did in their time? I would say not. Esp. when the reward is unclear. 4 SB 3 iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld ShairTunes2 by disaster123 Local Player, BBC iPlayer by Triode Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103926
