Hi, Is sox in the C-3PO generated command line? If so, is the normal behaviours: read from input, decode, fill the buffer and wait. Depending on the Squeezelite's buffers size you'll have longer or shorter intervals, but the decoding job is quite a simple one and is taking a very little amount of cpu. In my system I have 1GB buffer, so sox is working for few seconds at the beginning of the track, then it never raise up during playback until the start of the new one. This is like reading from RAM disk from the squeezelite point of view. ________________________________________________________________________ Author of C-3PO plugin, Squeezelite-R2, Falcon Web interface - See www.marcoc1712.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
