Slim does not use http to stream music to the slimdevice clients. And I would not call http "low overhead" since it is TCP and TCP has a good bit of overhead native to it. Slim I believe uses its own custom TCP protocol to stream music to the clients. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21890 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
