I will be re-issuing it with the "new, tweaked" 30 and 50 buffer sizes. I'll have a look to see if one can prevent "double installation" where it has already been included in a firmware. For what it's worth, 29,999 and 49,999 also work just fine, pointing to an integer rounding issue at this particular sample rate (22,050). Using 29,991 and 49,990 gives a bit of headroom. I did some fairly extensive tests of what would work and what wouldn't work. In a nutshell, there are things that are simply adrift either in the (built-in) ALSA rate conversion plugin, and/or its interaction with the kernel driver(s). In principle it should be able to handle *all* conversions, but it most definitely can't ! I would be inclined not to include the "exact" values, my re-issued Applet will simply present them as 30 and 50. (The user really doesn't care). Unless, of course, revised firmware components eliminate the issue. I can also remark that the "tweaked" values result in an initialization of exactly what it should have been (buffer sizes of precisely 10ms). I don't recommend that you investigate, but in debug mode, and by launching Squeezeplay from the command line, you'll see the ALSA lib's configurarion dumped onto STDOUT, or STDERR, I forget which. ralphy wrote: > > depending if there are modified firmware distribution concerns or not. > I was wondering about the status of, for example, the dsp component. ralphy wrote: > There are lots of firmware version checks at startup, that I need to > better understand. LMS presents the existing firmware binary (7.7.3) as a "Forced" update. I discovered that, without the additional changes in 7.8, we would always be presented with an upgrade (to 7.7.3) if the Radio reports itself as 7.8.0. That probably underlies at least some of the changes (and logging traces) that you observed. Don't overlook linuxrc. I haven't looked, yet. ralphy wrote: > How are your jive_alsa modification(s) working so far? So far, so good.
