Well I was able to run my SB uncompressed with a Softsqueeze on the laptop over the WLAN with no drops. Looks like Softsqueeze supports native FLAC as this was driving about 2.3 Mbps. Then I fired up a file transfer to my laptop and, unsurprisingly, got some drops. Not nearly as bad as I expected though. I could also induce drops sometimes by clicking on the Slimserver web interface, that surprised me a little.
I ran another test with 128kbps CBR MP3 to the SB, FLAC to the Softsqueeze, and a file transfer. No drops at all (I thought there might be since the file transfer should saturate the WLAN), so I can see where transcoding would help on 802.11b. If only I could get transcoding to work. -- letrout ------------------------------------------------------------------------ letrout's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2126 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17283 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
