Thanks for the info - I had sort of figured that was the issue after digging through some PortAudio code last night. (Used to be a coder, now I'm more of a hosting/networking/security type. It's been a while since I've tried to read through "real" C code.)
I tried playing with PA_MIN_LATENCY_MSEC, even setting it different between the 2 instances. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting dropouts, although the 2 sets of speakers are still pretty close together while I'm setting this up. As you said, I'm trying to control 2 rooms from 1 machine, although I'm guessing that one instance apiece on 2 machines would have a similar issue. I would like to give the 2 rooms the ability to be synced, but not require them both to always be on. (My deck and patio are 2 other "rooms" I would like to have synced - I'd rather not have the patio on if we're just on the deck.) I realize I'm trying to get champagne results on a beer (OK, maybe wine) budget - I'm just trying to figure out when I have to switch to cheap champagne, or just expect it to taste bad. :) I'm much more of a computer geek than an audiophile, but I still like my music to sound good. (Listening to flamenco guitar get out of sync is PAINFUL!) One question - if I had 2 identical soundcards, should I expect them to still have this issue? I'll also take a look at 0.7.3, although 0.7.2 took care of some of the issues I was having. It's still a little flaky every now and then - looking at lsof it doesn't always open the socket back to slimserver, but wrapping it with aoss (an earlier hack I tried) seems to alleviate that for some reason. I'll try to keep my geeky questions out of General and put them over in the developers or Linux forum. Sorry, still a noob here. -- OldeSchule No school like the old school...
