Thanks. I did something similar, I think. The whole exercise is packed up in an Amazon EBS snapshot, so I can't look right now. I recall that jive_alsa was "bit perfect" (subject to 4 debug hash bytes of no significance), and that libasound.so.2.0.0 was bit perfect (I was trying out a few later versions). I did have to define the original build directory, somewhere in the poky conf file, I think, to get the build tree the same - it is certainly baked into jive_alsa. Makes binary comparison somewhat easier. I never bothered to try out Squeezeplay itself, but my guess is that it is as bit perfect as it can be ! I haven't looked at capability reporting, that might need a tweak. I learned to defang the watchdog (comment out the check for squeezeplay in watchdog.conf), make sure that remote log in is set to on, and, when all is apparently lost, remove the battery to get a clean boot and restore original firmware. At present I am running a couple of tweaked jive_alsa's, one with a delayed start to allow buffers to fill at the start of a stream, and one with a replacement of XRUN errors by silence. This in the context of ameliorating XRUNS. Both seem to work fine. But, and here's the thing, I don't seem to be getting XRUNS any more ! I recently retried the earlier tests that we both ran last year, but seemed to get no errors. I'll try it again, in case I goofed. But perhaps some change in LMS has helped. It will be interesting to see how you get on. I note that you have an alternative aac decoder in your Squeezeplay builds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
