OK, so the text output acted like noise going into the audio stream I assume. It appears I was a little premature in declaring success as I think I'm suffering from performance type isues. I'm getting fragmented playback (buffer underrun), but it's confusing as yesterday I think I was streaming fine at 320kbps yet now it's not working. I'm working through a variety of possible performance parameters including chunks read, WMA bitrate and CPU priority level. Given I didn't tune any of this yesterday I'm a little confused at how it worked fine then. Any advice on what parameters to concentrate on tuning? The only problem I experienced yesterday was poor playback over wireless which was also odd as regular MP3 (192kbps encoded) works fine. I switched to wired and all was well for AlienBBC .. until today. I'm further confused by the fact a /etc/inint.d/slimserver restart leads to AlienBBC playing nothing but static, after a reboot it plays fine. Guess this is a seperate issue, possibly something more that could be done with the shutdown script. Can't fix everything at once though.
