Update: Disregard those figures. I found a way to isolate the Perl module in the activity monitor, and I queued up a FLAC album (previous figures were based on an old OGG album). The Perl process seems to maintain a continuous level of network traffic at around 110-140KB/sec, until about 40 seconds from the end of a track, when it drops to around 25KB/sec. At about 10 seconds from the end it spikes to 1.6MB/sec. So it seems as though that spike is the player filling the buffer with the next track, and then the buffer is topped up continuously until near the end of the track (-40s) when the whole of the remainder of the track is in the buffer.
So all that this shows is that, for the Mac at least, the period between -40s and -10s should be virtually free of network traffic, and should sound better than the rest of the track if there's anything to this theory. -- chill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
