Doubt it. named pipe is usually 64k by default and so kept in memory or paged out.
I suspect a deadlock/process blocking situation such as shairport can't write as pipe is full up but ecasound won't read as ecasound output is blocked. However the above speculation, you need hard evidence. I'd first add in debugging message on output activity to pipe timestamped with system time in shairport and also enable ecasound debugging messages to see what activitity is happening on input and output sides. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
