One way to test that is to disable any MP3 or Ogg streams from Airtime and just run the ALSA output for a while. You should see the load average in 'top' drop significantly. Also, your Apache CPU load sounds high. Does that percentage drop when all the users log out of the Airtime admin interface? I am all in favour of hardware recycling, but when running 24/7 an old P4 is probably not energy efficient in terms of watts/performance. I run Airtime on a recycled Opteron 170 dual-core which is more than adequate for a small station, if a little more power hungry than a P4, and also a HP Microserver which has similar performance to the Opteron but is very energy efficient at around 35W total. >>> Finally, how well does liquidsoap run under RT priority?

Deterministic latency in the kernel would only be a sticking plaster if the real problem is that the server is underpowered for the task. Cheers!
