I don't know how/when the chip loses its bearings, if that's what's afoot. It would require some detailed output logging, for possibly several weeks, until the next time the problem is encountered. With no guarantee that the log will show anything useful. In my case, probably several weeks/months. So I haven't tried. Changing the sample rate generates something of a chip reset/re-program, in jive-alsa, to cater for the new sample rate, and seems to be enough to restore normal operation. It's been some long while since I looked at the code. Last time I looked was in connection with a Joggler (remember those?), whose on-board chip had a habit of failing after some hours of continuous playback. I was lucky enough to find an old reference on tinternet to some kind of overflow within said chip. Turned out to be easily detectable in jive-alsa once one knew what to look for (I don't recall that logging helped). Chip reset/re-program cured that. I seem to recall getting a corrective patch taken up in one of the Joggler jive-alsa distributions. But doesn't help this problem ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104141 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
