Your AlsaBufferSize applet works fine with 7.8. I just updated the ms
buffersizes for 30 and 50 for now. I've tested 22050Hz mp3 files which
play fine with 29991 ms setting.
It does assert for the SqueezeboxBaby applet at load but it could be
installed only with the squeezeplay-baby recipe. The touch with edo
already has a similiar applet and the controller audio has other issues
that require tweaking thread priority and was never officially
supported, only released as a beta feature. I too thought it better to
include your applet as part of the firmware update and leave the default
values. Perhaps with 2 entries each for 30 and 50 using the exact and
"tuned" ms values.

Yes, the touch enhanced digital output applet installs a new jive_alsa
binary, applets and patches on the current firmware, updates the linux
kernel too.
However, flashing a new firmware takes about 2 minutes and provided
rolling back the firmware to stock is an option, would be an easier
approach, depending if there are modified firmware distribution concerns
or not.
There are lots of firmware version checks at startup, that I need to
better understand.

I will test this in time but for now I'm back to daily radio use
activities to see how it performs and if any issues crop up. My previous
firmware flash partition still has a stock firmware image I can
hopefully revert to if needed.
How are your alsa_jive modification(s) working so far?
