I think you should give a better description of the term "digital waviness" so that people can better understand the artefacts you are hearing. Problems in a stream (e.g lost packets) with different encoding formats can result in characteristic audible artefacts - with a better description it may be possible to identify the source of the distortion.
AAC+ is a better format but not perfect. It is a compressed format and as such I don't believe the hype that at 128kbits speed it provides "near CD-quality" or at 112kbits/s "FM-Quality" especially on some sites CD quaity is touted at 64kbits and FM quality at 32kbpit/sec. ( http://www.tuner2.com ) That said, you should examine your decoding chain to make sure distortion are not introduced. Areas to check 1. AAC+ decoded stream is sent to SB3 as Flac or WAV 2. mplayer AAC+ decoders uses floating point and not fixed point 3. Try using libfaad AAC+ decoder in mplayer build and not the ffmpeg decoder. 4. Check on what encoder is being used by the station as there are quality issues with some encoders. 5. Is the station using aacplus v1 or aacplus v2 ? -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36034 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
